The paper investigates sex-dependent changes in insular cortex connectivity in a rat model of comorbid pain, finding increased insular-thalamo connectivity in female rats.

This study identifies the claustrum as a key initiator of task-dependent network states in cognitive control using fMRI and structural connectivity analyses.

The paper identifies pathological claustrum activity and its influence on cognitive network processing in chronic pain patients.

The paper identifies three dimensions linking migraine symptoms to brain functional connectivity using CCA and RSFC, revealing novel network targets and patient subtypes.

This study shows that tonic pain in healthy humans alters functional connectivity within the Descending Pain Modulatory Network, with specific connections predicting pain intensity and being modulated by pain.

This study shows prolonged pain slows peak alpha frequency by reducing fast alpha power, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for pain management.

The paper investigates whether resting alpha frequency is a reliable biomarker for predicting sensitivity to prolonged pain in healthy individuals.

The paper investigates how prolonged tonic pain affects intrinsic brain networks in healthy humans, finding altered functional connectivity in pain modulation networks.
