Cortical and subcortical localization of response to pain in man using positron emission tomography

·1991·Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences

Abstract

A quantitative study of the regional cerebral responses to non-painful and painful thermal stimuli in six normal volunteers has been done by monitoring serial measurements of regional blood flow measured by positron emission tomography (PET). In comparison to a baseline of warm stimulation no statistically significant changes in blood flow were seen in relation to increasing non-painful heat. However, highly significant increases in blood flow were seen in response to painful heat in comparison to non-painful heat. These changes were in the contralateral cingulate cortex, thalamus and lenticular nucleus. These findings are discussed in relation to previous physiological observations of responses to nociceptive stimuli in man and primates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
