Journal ArticleDOI
Multidisciplinary research priorities for the COVID-19 pandemic: a call for action for mental health science.
Emily A. Holmes,Emily A. Holmes,Rory C. O'Connor,V. Hugh Perry,Irene Tracey,Simon Wessely,Louise Arseneault,Clive Ballard,Helen Christensen,Roxane Cohen Silver,Ian P. Everall,Tamsin Ford,Ann John,Thomas Kabir,Kate King,Ira Madan,Susan Michie,Andrew K. Przybylski,Roz Shafran,Angela Sweeney,Carol M. Worthman,Lucy Yardley,Katherine Cowan,Claire Cope,Matthew Hotopf,Edward T. Bullmore +25 more
TL;DR: There is an urgent need for research to address how mental health consequences for vulnerable groups can be mitigated under pandemic conditions, and on the impact of repeated media consumption and health messaging around COVID-19.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cerebral Signature for Pain Perception and Its Modulation
Irene Tracey,Patrick W. Mantyh +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the brainstem plays a pivotal role in gating the degree of nociceptive transmission so that the resultant pain experienced is appropriate for the particular situation of the individual.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociating pain from its anticipation in the human brain.
A Ploghaus,Irene Tracey,Joseph S. Gati,Stuart Clare,Ravi S. Menon,Paul M. Matthews,J. N. P. Rawlins +6 more
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging in healthy humans was applied to dissociate neural activation patterns associated with acute pain and its anticipation to find sites within the medial frontal lobe, insular cortex, and cerebellum distinct from, but close to, locations mediating pain experience itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging how attention modulates pain in humans using functional MRI.
TL;DR: Functional MRI was used to elucidate the underlying neural systems and mechanisms involved in reduced pain perception and showed brain areas associated with the affective division of the anterior cingulate cortex and orbitofrontal regions showed increased activation when subjects were distracted during painful stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exacerbation of Pain by Anxiety Is Associated with Activity in a Hippocampal Network
A Ploghaus,Charvy Narain,Christian F. Beckmann,Stuart Clare,Susanna Bantick,Richard G. Wise,Paul M. Matthews,J. N. P. Rawlins,Irene Tracey +8 more
TL;DR: This finding suggests that accurate preparatory information during medical and dental procedures alleviates pain by disengaging the hippocampus, and supports the proposal that during anxiety, the hippocampal formation amplifies aversive events to prime behavioral responses that are adaptive to the worst possible outcome.
