- Title
Pain: A wandering brain reduces pain?
- Authors
Welberg, Leonie
- Abstract
The article discusses the association of greater default-mode network (DMN) during pain with a tendency to mind-wander away from pain. The difference between DMN activation in pain trials compared to somewhere else (SE) trials associated with increased functional connectivity between DMN areas is focused. It is inferred that sustained DMN activity during a painful stimulus may influence activity in pain-reducing areas such as the periaqueductal grey (PAG).
