Journal ArticleDOI
Forebrain pain mechanisms.
TL;DR: Results of clinical studies in neuropathic pain patients suggest that neuroimaging may help determine mechanisms of altered brain functions in pain as well as monitor the effects of pharmacologic interventions to optimize treatment in individual patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive Impairment in Pain through Amygdala-Driven Prefrontal Cortical Deactivation
TL;DR: This study shows that the amygdala contributes not only to emotional-affective but also cognitive effects of pain, which has important implications for the understanding of amygdala functions and amygdalo-cortical interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rodent versions of the iowa gambling task: opportunities and challenges for the understanding of decision-making.
Leonie de Visser,Judith R. Homberg,M.D. Mitsogiannis,Fiona D. Zeeb,Marion Rivalan,Aurélie Fitoussi,Vasco Galhardo,Ruud van den Bos,C. A. Winstanley,Françoise Dellu-Hagedorn +9 more
TL;DR: New rodent models based on the same principle have been developed to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying IGT-like decision-making on behavioral, neural, and pharmacological levels, and the comparative strengths, as well as the similarities and differences between these paradigms are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive impairment of prefrontal-dependent decision-making in rats after the onset of chronic pain
TL;DR: The first report of the effect of chronic pain in rat decision-making processes is reported and supports the notion that pain may have profound effects on the functioning of the reward-aversion circuitry relevant to strategic planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired spatial memory performance in a rat model of neuropathic pain is associated with reduced hippocampus-prefrontal cortex connectivity.
TL;DR: The results show that the nerve lesion caused an impairment of working memory performance that is temporally associated with changes in the mPFC populational firing activity patterns when the animals navigated between decision points—when memory retention was most needed.
