Journal ArticleDOI
The autonomic brain: an activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis for central processing of autonomic function.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of human neuroimaging experiments evaluating central autonomic processing identified a set of consistently activated brain regions, comprising left amygdala, right anterior and left posterior insula and midcingulate cortices that form the core of thecentral autonomic network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsic Brain Connectivity in Fibromyalgia is Associated with Chronic Pain Intensity
Vitaly Napadow,Lauren LaCount,Kyungmo Park,Sawsan As-Sanie,Daniel J. Clauw,Richard E. Harris +5 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that resting brain activity within multiple networks is associated with spontaneous clinical pain in patients with FM, and may have broader implications for how subjective experiences such as pain arise from a complex interplay among multiple brain networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The integrated response of the human cerebro-cerebellar and limbic systems to acupuncture stimulation at ST 36 as evidenced by fMRI
Kathleen K.S. Hui,Jing Liu,Ovidiu Marina,Vitaly Napadow,Christian Haselgrove,Kenneth K. Kwong,David N. Kennedy,Nikos Makris +7 more
TL;DR: This fMRI study demonstrated that manual acupuncture at ST 36 (Stomach 36, Zusanli), a main acupoint on the leg, modulated neural activity at multiple levels of the cerebro-cerebellar and limbic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for brain glial activation in chronic pain patients

TL;DR: Increased brain levels of the translocator protein (TSPO), a marker of glial activation, are shown in patients with chronic low back pain, suggesting that TSPO expression exerts pain-protective/anti-inflammatory effects in humans, as predicted by animal studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of electroacupuncture versus manual acupuncture on the human brain as measured by fMRI
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the limbic system is central to acupuncture effect regardless of specific acupuncture modality is supported, although some differences do exist in the underlying neurobiologic mechanisms for these modalities, and may aid in optimizing their future usage in clinical applications.
