Activation of the opioidergic descending pain control system underlies placebo analgesia. (2009, background): “…and placebo analgesia, which share some common neuroanatomical features (Benedetti et al., 2005; Ochsner and Gross, 2005; Petrovic and Ingvar, 2002; Wiech et al., 2008) and act inhibitory (Kiernan et al., 1995; Matre et al., 2006; Willer et al., 1979) on nociceptive processing in the spinal…”
A multisensory investigation of the functional significance of the "pain matrix" (2011, neutral): “elicits a sensation of pain, it is reasonable to assume that the elicited brain responses are at least partially pain-specific (e.g., Avenanti et al., 2005; Boly et al., 2008; Borsook et al., 2010; Brooks and Tracey, 2005; Ingvar and Hsieg, 1999; Jones, 1998; Ploghaus, 1999; Stern et al., 2006; Talb”
A Bayesian account of ‘hysteria’ (2012, background): “For example, for sensory data from a triggering event signalling pain, the abnormal prior belief may reside in the insular cortex, an intermediate-level cortical level relevant to pain perception (Wiech et al., 2008).”
Pain and the brain: Specificity and plasticity of the brain in clinical chronic pain (2010, background): “The continuous activation of these limbic/emotional structures must result in shifts in valuation (some of which are reviewed above), and these shifts would in turn modulate cortical learning and memory processes [34,108].”
The influence of negative emotions on pain: Behavioral effects and neural mechanisms (2009, neutral): “Their positive counterpart, represented as feelings of being safe (Wiech et al., 2008a; Wiech et al., 2006) or optimistic (Geers et al., 2008) are equally interesting and powerful and have recently been linked to reward processing in the context of placebo analgesia (Scott et al., 2007).”
Brain Mechanisms Supporting Modulation of Pain by Mindfulness Meditation (2011, neutral): “Furthermore, we sought to determine whether meditation-related activation of these brain regions was directly associated with pain modulation (Wiech et al., 2008).”
