Human Brain Stem Structures Respond Differentially to Noxious Heat

Concerning the physiological correlates of pain, the brain stem is considered to be one core region that is activated by noxious input. In animal studies, different slopes of skin heating (SSH) with noxious heat led to activation in different columns of the midbrain periaqueductal grey (PAG). The p...
