• Pain activates sensory cortex
• Pain activates limbic cortex
• ACC, Insula, S2 and S1 all code heat pain intensity
• Sensory-Discriminative, Affective-Motivational
• Hypnotic Modulation of Pain Perception
• S1 modulated by pain intensity
• ACC modulated by pain unpleasantness
• Insular cortex codes temperature intensity
• Insular cortex codes air hunger
• Frontal cortex activated by pain, does not code intensity
• Frontal cortex activated by olfactory, visual and auditory emotional stimulii
• Common cortical network activated by different types of pain
• Noxious intramuscular stimulation
• Esophageal distention
• Aberrant pain states - hyperexcitability, disinhibition, neural reorganization
