Anterior cingulate inputs to nucleus accumbens control the social transfer of pain and analgesia
Science, 2021 Social Transmission of pain and relief In mice, both pain and fear can be transferred by short social contact from one animal to a bystander. Neurons in a brain region called the anterior cingulate cortex in the bystander animal mediate these transfers ...

Meta-analysis of neural systems underlying placebo analgesia from individual participant fMRI data
Nature Communications, 2021 The brain systems underlying placebo analgesia are insufficiently understood. Here we performed a systematic, participant-level meta-analysis of experimental functional neuroimaging studies of evoked pain under stimulus-intensity-matched placebo and ...

Anaesthesia, analgesia, and the surgical stress response.
BJA Education, 2020 Acc © 20 For Describe the physiological changes that occur during surgery. Discuss how a method of anaesthesia or analgesia may be chosen, based on its effect on the stress response. Explain the role of the anaesthetist in attenuating the surgical stress

A prospective, multicentre, observational cohort study of analgesia and outcome after pneumonectomy [PDF]
, 2011 Background Meta-analysis and systematic reviews of epidural compared with paravertebral blockade analgesia techniques for thoracotomy conclude that although the analgesia is comparable, paravertebral blockade has a better short-term side-effect profile ...

Linking pain and the body: neural correlates of visually induced analgesia [PDF]
, 2012 The visual context of seeing the body can reduce the experience of acute pain, producing a multisensory analgesia. Here we investigated the neural correlates of this “visually induced analgesia” using fMRI.
