Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of Cortical and Cerebellar Motor Areas during Executed and Imagined Hand Movements: An fMRI Study
Martin Lotze,Pedro Montoya,Michael Erb,Ernst Hülsmann,Herta Flor,Uwe Klose,Niels Birbaumer,Wolfgang Grodd +7 more
TL;DR: The results of cortical activity support the hypothesis that motor imagery and motor performance possess similar neural substrates as well as the assumption that the posterior cerebellum is involved in the inhibition of movement execution during imagination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Regional Anesthesia on Phantom Limb Pain Are Mirrored in Changes in Cortical Reorganization
Niels Birbaumer,Werner Lutzenberger,Pedro Montoya,Wolfgang Larbig,Klaus Unertl,Stephanie Töpfner,Wolfgang Grodd,Edward Taub,Herta Flor +8 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that cortical reorganization and phantom limb pain might have a causal relationship and methods designed to alter corticalorganization should be examined for their efficacy in the treatment of phantom limbPain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heartbeat evoked potentials (HEP): topography and influence of cardiac awareness and focus of attention ☆
TL;DR: The data suggest that paying attention to an internal event such as the heartbeat can modify the cortical evoked response associated with that event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disrupted functional connectivity of the pain network in fibromyalgia.
Ignacio Cifre,Carolina Sitges,Daniel Fraiman,Miguel Ángel Muñoz,Pablo Balenzuela,Ana M. González-Roldán,M. Martínez-Jauand,Niels Birbaumer,Dante R. Chialvo,Pedro Montoya +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that patients with FM display a substantial imbalance of the connectivity within the pain network during rest, suggesting that chronic pain may also lead to changes in brain activity during internally generated thought processes such as occur at rest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electroencephalographic Patterns in Chronic Pain: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Eulália Silva dos Santos Pinheiro,Fernanda Costa de Queirós,Pedro Montoya,Cleber Luz Santos,Marion Alves do Nascimento,Clara Hikari Ito,Manuela Moreira da Silva,David Barros Nunes Santos,Silvia Damasceno Benevides,José Garcia Vivas Miranda,Katia Nunes Sá,Abrahão Fontes Baptista +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that qEEG could be considered as a simple and objective tool for the study of brain mechanisms involved in chronic pain, as well as for identifying the specific characteristics of chronic pain condition.
