Pain is an integrative phenomenon that results from dynamic interactions between sensory
and contextual (ie, cognitive, emotional, and motivational) processes. In the brain the …

Several studies have used neuroimaging techniques to investigate brain correlates of the
attentional modulation of pain. Although these studies have advanced the knowledge in the …

Under physiological conditions, momentary pain serves vital protective functions. Ongoing
pain in chronic pain states, on the other hand, is a pathological condition that causes …

The identification of neurobiological markers that predict individual predisposition to pain
are not only important for development of effective pain treatments, but would also yield a …

Noxious stimuli induce physiological processes which commonly translate into pain.
However, under certain conditions, pain intensity can substantially dissociate from stimulus …

Neural oscillations play an important role in the integration and segregation of brain regions
that are important for brain functions, including pain. Disturbances in oscillatory activity are …

Chronic pain is associated with maladaptive reorganization of the central nervous system.
Recent studies have suggested that disorganization of large-scale electrical brain activity …

Our recent study demonstrated that prefrontal transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) with
1064-nm laser enables significant changes in EEG rhythms, but these changes might result …

Transient painful stimuli could induce suppression of alpha oscillatory activities and
enhancement of gamma oscillatory activities that also could be greatly modulated by …

Identifying neural biomarkers of pain has long been a central theme in pain neuroscience.
Here, we review the state-of-the-art candidates for neural biomarkers of acute and chronic …
