  1. ncbi Anterior insula integrates information about salience into perceptual decisions about pain
    Katja Wiech
    Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics, University of Oxford, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK
    J Neurosci 30:16324-31. 2010
    ..These findings provide evidence that the anterior insula and MCC as a "salience network" integrate information about the significance of an impending stimulation into perceptual decision-making in the context of pain...
  2. ncbi Neurocognitive aspects of pain perception
    Katja Wiech
    Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics, University of Oxford, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headley Way, Oxford OX3 9DU, UK
    Trends Cogn Sci 12:306-13. 2008
    ..Taking placebo-induced analgesia as an example, we discuss the contribution of attention, expectation and reappraisal as three basic mechanisms that are important for the cognitive modulation of pain...
  3. ncbi An fMRI study measuring analgesia enhanced by religion as a belief system
    Katja Wiech
    Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics, University of Oxford, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK
    Pain 139:467-76. 2008
    ..We suggest that religious belief might provide a framework that allows individuals to engage known pain-regulatory brain processes...
  4. ncbi The influence of negative emotions on pain: behavioral effects and neural mechanisms
    Katja Wiech
    Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics, University of Oxford, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headley Way, Oxford OX3 9DU, UK
    Neuroimage 47:987-94. 2009
    ..We discuss possible neural mechanisms underlying this modulatory influence focusing on the periaqueductal grey (PAG), amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and anterior insula as key players in both, pain and affective processing...
  5. ncbi Flexible cerebral connectivity patterns subserve contextual modulations of pain
    Markus Ploner

    Oxford Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Brain, Department of Clinical Neurology, University of Oxford, UK
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:355-60. 2010
    ..We conclude that variations in functional connectivity underlie personality-related differences in individual susceptibility to pain...

    Ulrike Bingel
    Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences Division of Anaesthetics, University of Oxford, OX3 9DU Oxford, UK
    Sci Transl Med 3:70ra14. 2011
    ..We propose that it may be necessary to integrate patients' beliefs and expectations into drug treatment regimes alongside traditional considerations in order to optimize treatment outcomes...

    Katja Wiech
    Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience, Institute of Neurology, London WC1N 3BG, United Kingdom
    J Neurosci 26:11501-9. 2006

    Pain 137:600-8. 2008
    ..These gains were maintained at three-month follow-up. We conclude that tactile stimulation can decrease pain and increase tactile acuity when patients are required to discriminate between the type and location of tactile stimuli...
  10. ncbi Pain relief as an opponent process: a psychophysical investigation
    Siri Leknes
    Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain, Clinical Neurology and Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics, Oxford University, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK
