Prefrontal cortex

Distraction and cognitive control independently impact parietal and prefrontal response to pain
Previous studies found that distracting someone through a challenging activity leads to hypoalgesia, an effect mediated by parietal and …

Medical education and distrust modulate the response of insular-cingulate network and ventral striatum in pain diagnosis
Healthcare providers often underestimate patients’ pain, sometimes even when aware of their reports. This could be the effect of …

Medical education and distrust modulate the response of insular-cingulate network and ventral striatum in pain diagnosis
Deficits in cognitive and affective theory of mind relate to dissociated lesion patterns in prefrontal and insular cortex
Neuroimaging studies suggest that understanding emotions in others engages brain regions partially common to those associated with more …
