The neural architecture of emotion regulation (2007, background): “…that while experiencing painful stimulation, performing a verbal fluency task (Frankenstein, Richter, McIntyre, & Remy, 2001), the Stroop task (Bantick et al., 2002; Valet et al., 2004), or simply being asked to “think of something else” (Tracey et al., 2002) diminishes the aversiveness of…”
The cerebral signature for pain perception and its modulation. (2007, methodology): “…show attentionand distraction-related modulations of nociceptive-driven activations in many parts of the brain’s pain processing regions, with concomittant changes in perception (Bantick et al., 2002; Legrain et al., 2002; Ohara et al., 2004b, 2004c; Petrovic et al., 2000; Peyron et al., 1999).”
The effect of pain on cognitive function: a review of clinical and preclinical research. (2011, background): “Other distracting tasks were also found to reduce pain-induced activity in the IC in healthy subjects (Bantick et al., 2002; Longe et al., 2001).”
Brain Mechanisms Supporting Modulation of Pain by Mindfulness Meditation (2011, background): “Distraction has been found to reduce pain-related activity in the mid-ACC and AI (Bantick et al., 2002).”
The Neural Bases of Distraction and Reappraisal (2010, neutral): “…demanding tasks diminishes the aversiveness of pain, as measured by selfreported experience, as well as activation in pain-related regions such as the insula and the medial pFC (mPFC; Seminowicz & Davis, 2007; Wiech et al., 2005; Bantick et al., 2002; Frankenstein, Richter,McIntyre, &Remy, 2001).”
Attention and reality constraints on the neural processes of empathy for pain (2007, methodology): “…the right insula and putamen, which are associated with negative emotions such as disgust induced by facial expression (Calder et al., 2000; Surguladze et al., 2003; Wicker et al., 2003) or noxious stimuli applied to hands (Bantick et al., 2002; Downar et al., 2003; Rainville et al., 1997).”
Distraction modulates connectivity of the cingulo‐frontal cortex and the midbrain during pain—an fMRI analysis (2004, background): “Recent neuroimaging studies support the putative pain modulating capacity of the cingulo-frontal cortex (Bantick et al., 2002; Petrovic et al., 2000), since pain attenuation under cognitive modulation/distraction was associated with a relative activation increase in this area.”
Human brain mechanisms of pain perception and regulation in health and disease (2005, background): “…stimulus reduced pain- evoked activity Ploghaus et al. (2001) fMRI Anxiety Hippo, peri-genual ACC, mid-IC Anxiety amplified pain-related responses Bantick et al. (2002) fMRI Attention, distraction ACC, IC, Th Pain-evoked activity reduced during Stroop counting task Bantick et al. (2002)…”
Handbook of Health Psychology (2001, background): “371 somatosensory cortex, associated with the sensory-discriminative aspects of pain; (2) secondary somatosensory cortex, involved in the recognition, learning, and memory of painful experiences; (3) limbic system, which is linked to the emotional processing of pain; (4) anterior cingulate cortex, r”
Activation of the opioidergic descending pain control system underlies placebo analgesia. (2009, background): “…shown not only in studies on placebo analgesia (Lieberman et al., 2004; Price et al., 2007; Wager et al., 2004) but also in various other condi- tions, such as attentional manipulations (Bantick et al., 2002), expectation manipulations (Keltner et al., 2006), and hypnosis (Rainville et al., 1997).”
Amygdala-frontal connectivity during emotion regulation. (2007, background): “The ACC, VLPFC, DMPFC and OFC are engaged when subjects divert their attention from threat and/or painful stimuli (Bantick et al., 2002; Tracey et al., 2002; Bishop et al., 2004).”
