Journal ArticleDOI
A common neurobiology for pain and pleasure.
Siri Leknes,Irene Tracey +1 more
TL;DR: Understanding the mutually inhibitory effects that pain and reward processing have on each other, and the neural mechanisms that underpin such modulation, is important for alleviating unnecessary suffering and improving well-being.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of depressed mood disrupts emotion regulation neurocircuitry and enhances pain unpleasantness
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of depressed mood induction on affective pain ratings, pain-specific cognitions, and central pain processing of a tonic noxious heat stimulus in 20 healthy volunteers were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relief as a Reward: Hedonic and Neural Responses to Safety from Pain
TL;DR: In conclusion, relief differs from appetitive rewards due to its reliance on negative expectations, the violation of which is reflected in relief-related accumbens activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of context: When relative relief renders pain pleasant
TL;DR: A role for brainstem and reward circuitry is pointed to in a context‐induced “hedonic flip” of pain, such that moderate pain elicited positive hedonics in the relative relief context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Itch and Motivation to Scratch: An Investigation of the Central and Peripheral Correlates of Allergen- and Histamine-Induced Itch in Humans
TL;DR: The patterns of itch-induced activation reported here may help explain why chronic itch sufferers frequently self-harm through uncontrollable itch-scratch cycles.
