  1. ncbi Direct evidence for spinal cord involvement in placebo analgesia
    Falk Eippert
    Department of Systems Neuroscience, University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany
    Science 326:404. 2009
    ..These results provide direct evidence for spinal inhibition as one mechanism of placebo analgesia and highlight that psychological factors can act on the earliest stages of pain processing in the central nervous system...
  2. ncbi The effect of opioid receptor blockade on the neural processing of thermal stimuli
    Eszter D Schoell
    NeuroImage Nord, Department of Systems Neuroscience, University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany
    PLoS ONE 5:e12344. 2010
    ..On the neural level, painful thermal stimulation was associated with a negative BOLD signal within the pregenual anterior cingulate cortex, and this deactivation was abolished by naloxone...
  3. ncbi Regulation of emotional responses elicited by threat-related stimuli
    Falk Eippert
    Institute of Medical Psychology and Behavioral Neurobiology, University of Tuebingen, Germany
    Hum Brain Mapp 28:409-23. 2007
    ..The present study demonstrates that amygdala responses to threat-related stimuli can be controlled through the use of cognitive strategies depending on recruitment of prefrontal areas, thereby changing the subject's affective state...
  4. ncbi Activation of the opioidergic descending pain control system underlies placebo analgesia
    Falk Eippert
    Department of Systems Neuroscience, University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany
    Neuron 63:533-43. 2009
    ..These findings show that opioidergic signaling in pain-modulating areas and the projections to downstream effectors of the descending pain control system are crucially important for placebo analgesia...
  5. ncbi Blockade of endogenous opioid neurotransmission enhances acquisition of conditioned fear in humans
    Falk Eippert
    Departments of Systems Neuroscience and Neurology, University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany
    J Neurosci 28:5465-72. 2008
    ..Together, these results demonstrate that in humans the endogenous opioid system has an inhibitory role in the acquisition of fear...

    Anne Stankewitz
    Department of Systems Neuroscience, University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf, D 20246 Hamburg, Germany
    J Neurosci 31:1937-43. 2011

    Andreas von Leupoldt
    Department of Psychology, University of Hamburg, 20146 Hamburg, Germany
    Am J Respir Crit Care Med 180:232-8. 2009
    ..Dyspnea is the impairing cardinal symptom of asthma but its accurate perception is also crucial for timely initiation of treatment. However, the underlying brain mechanisms of perceived dyspnea in patients with asthma are unknown...
