Journal ArticleDOI
Haemodynamic brain responses to acute pain in humans: sensory and attentional networks.
Roland Peyron,Luis Garcia-Larrea,Marie-Claude Gregoire,Nicolas Costes,Philippe Convers,F. Lavenne,Francıois Mauguière,Daniel Michel,Bernard Laurent +8 more
TL;DR: Attentional processes could possibly explain part of the variability observed in previous PET reports and should therefore be considered in further studies on pain in both normal subjects and patients with chronic pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical stimulation of motor cortex for pain control: a combined PET-scan and electrophysiological study☆
Luis Garcia-Larrea,Roland Peyron,Patrick Mertens,Marie-Claude Gregoire,F. Lavenne,D. Le Bars,Philippe Convers,François Mauguière,Marc Sindou,Bernard Laurent +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that descending axons, rather than apical dendrites, are primarily activated by MCS, and highlight the thalamus as the key structure mediating functional MCS effects, and propose a model of MCS action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical stimulation of precentral cortical area in the treatment of central pain: electrophysiological and PET study
Roland Peyron,Luis Garcia-Larrea,M. P. Deiber,L. Cinotti,Philippe Convers,Marc Sindou,François Mauguière,Bernard Laurent +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that PGS‐induced analgesia is somatotopically mediated and does not require the integrity of somatosensory cortex and lemniscal system and may be rather related to attentional and/or emotional processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paraneoplastic peripheral neuropathy associated with anti-Hu antibodies. A clinical and electrophysiological study of 20 patients.
Jean-Philippe Camdessanché,Jean-Christophe Antoine,Jérôme Honnorat,Christophe Vial,Philippe Petiot,Philippe Convers,Daniel Michel +6 more
TL;DR: The present work shows that the typical clinical and electrophysiological pattern of subacute sensory neuronopathy is rarely encountered in patients with anti-Hu antibody and that motor nerve involvement is frequently seen, even in the absence of a motor deficit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser-evoked potential abnormalities in central pain patients: the influence of spontaneous and provoked pain.
Luis Garcia-Larrea,Philippe Convers,Michel Magnin,Nathalie André-Obadia,Roland Peyron,Bernard Laurent,François Mauguière +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, as currently recorded, LEPs essentially reflect the activity of a 'lateral' pain system subserved at the periphery by rapidly conducting A-delta fibres, and are useful to document the sensorial deficits leading to neuropathic pain syndromes.
