Q

Cortical basis of pain perception and processing:

There is no single cortical area responsible for pain perception. Pain is a complex, multifactorial subjective experience, with a large distributed brain network accessed during nociceptive processing.

This network is called the:

A

Pain Matrix.

2.

A

Cortical basis of pain perception and processing.

What are the 3 main limitations of the Pain Matrix concept?

  1. Differences in specific brain area activities during neuroimaging studies.
  2. Neuroimaging studies only look at experimentally induced pain.
  3. Not comprehensive enough, other factors are involved.
18
Q

Cortical basis of pain perception and processing.

One of the limitations of the Pain Matrix is it isn’t comprehensive enough as other factors are involved, such as:

1.

3.

4.

A

Cortical basis of pain perception and processing.

One of the limitations of the Pain Matrix is it isn’t comprehensive enough as other factors are involved, such as:

  1. Activity in pain matrix can be strongly disassociated from pain perception.
  2. Can be influence by other factors independent of stimuli intensity.
  3. Pain matrix can be evoked by non-nociceptive and non-painful stimuli.
  4. Pain matrix is influenced by the context in which stimuli appear.
