Sex Differences in the Connectivity of the Subgenual Anterior Cingulate Cortex: Implications for Pain Habituation

Show other versions (1)

Women exhibit greater habituation to painful stimuli than men. The neural mechanism underlying this sex difference is unknown. However, pain habituation has been associated with pain-evoked activity of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC), implicating a connection between the sgACC and th...
