Abstract

The primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) are two most important brain regions encoding the sensory-discriminative and affective-emotional aspects of pain, respectively. However, the functional connectivity of these two areas during cortical pain processing remains unclear. Developing methods to dissect the functional connectivity and directed information flow between cortical pain circuits can reveal insight into neural mechanisms of pain perception.
