Expression of Neurotrophins and Their Receptors Tropomyosin-related kinases (Trk) under Tension-stress during Distraction Osteogenesis [PDF]
, 2006 The localization and expression of neurotrophins and their receptors during distraction osteogenesis was investigated in 72 male rat femurs (11 weeks old) to further clarify the concurrence of cellular and molecular events of new bone formation.

Distraction from pain and executive functioning: an experimental investigation of the role of inhibition, task switching and working memory [PDF]
, 2011 Although many studies have investigated the effectiveness of distraction as a method of pain control, the cognitive processes by which attentional re-direction is achieved, remain unclear.

Attention-dependent modulation of neural activity in primary sensorimotor cortex [PDF]
, 2013 Although motor tasks at most times do not require much attention, there are findings that attention can alter neuronal activity not only in higher motor areas but also within the primary sensorimotor cortex.

Attentional bias towards pain-related information diminishes the efficacy of distraction [PDF]
, 2012 Distraction is a strategy that is commonly used to cope with pain. Results concerning the efficacy of distraction from both experimental and clinical studies are variable, however, and indicate that its efficacy may depend on particular circumstances ...
