Dept of Neurology, Heinrich Heine University, Moorenstrasse 5, 40225 Dusseldorf, Germany
J Neurophysiol 92:1825-9. 2004..Thus these findings may represent a physiological correlate of an alerting function of pain as a change in the internal state to prepare for processing signals of particular relevance...

Department of Neurology, Heinrich Heine University, , Germany
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 99:12444-8. 2002..First pain signals threat and provides precise sensory information for an immediate withdrawal, whereas second pain attracts longer-lasting attention and motivates behavioral responses to limit further injury and optimize recovery...
