The neuroscience of placebo effects: connecting context, learning and health
Tor D. Wager,Lauren Y. Atlas +1 more
TL;DR: An empirical review of the brain systems that are involved in placebo effects and a conceptual framework linking these findings to the mind–brain processes that mediate them suggest that the neuropsychological processes thatMediate placebo effects may be crucial for a wide array of therapeutic approaches, including many drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural Responses to Monetary Incentives in Major Depression
TL;DR: Although unmedicated depressed individuals have the capacity to experience positive arousal and recruit NAcc activation during gain anticipation, they also exhibit increased anterior cingulate cortex activation, suggestive of increased conflict during anticipation of gains, in addition to showing reduced discrimination of gain versus nongain outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the Hemodynamic Response Function in fMRI: Efficiency, Bias and Mis-modeling
TL;DR: The results show that it is surprisingly difficult to accurately recover true task-evoked changes in BOLD signal and that there are substantial differences among models in terms of power, bias and parameter confusability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain mediators of predictive cue effects on perceived pain
TL;DR: Activity in pain-processing regions reflects a combination of nociceptive input and top-down information related to expectations, and that anticipatory processes in OFC and striatum may play a key role in modulating pain processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
How expectations shape pain.
Lauren Y. Atlas,Tor D. Wager +1 more
TL;DR: The body of work reviewed indicates that expectancies shape pain-intensity processing in the central nervous system, with strong effects on nociceptive portions of insula, cingulate and thalamus and regions less reliably activated by changes in noxious input.
