Imaging pain modulation in health and disease
Top-down pain modulation relies on both cortical and subcortical structures. Research on
the involved circuitry, including the implemented mechanisms, is a major focus of
contemporary neuroscientific research in the field of pain and will provide new insights into
the prevention and treatment of chronic pain states.
