A unique representation of heat allodynia in the human brainJürgen Lorenz
Department Neurology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA
Neuron 35:383-93. 2002..In making this differentiation, the brain recognizes unique physiological features of different painful conditions, thus permitting adaptive responses to different pain states...
Psychophysical and cerebral responses to heat stimulation in patients with central pain, painless central sensory loss, and in healthy personsKenneth L Casey
Department of Neurology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104, USA
Pain 153:331-41. 2012..The increased nociceptive excitability within the intralaminar thalamus and sensory-motor cortex of our sample of CP patients suggests an underlying pathophysiology for the pain in some central pain syndromes...
Cortical correlates of false expectations during pain intensity judgments--a possible manifestation of placebo/nocebo cognitionsJürgen Lorenz
Institute of Neurophysiology and Pathophysiology, University Clinic Hamburg Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany
Brain Behav Immun 19:283-95. 2005..This result suggests a priming of early cortical nociceptive sensitivity by cues signaling pain severity. A possible contribution of the SII cortex to the manifestation of nocebo/placebo cognitions is discussed...
Activation of the opioidergic descending pain control system underlies placebo analgesiaFalk 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...
Role of synchronized oscillatory brain activity for human pain perceptionMichael Hauck
Department of Neurophysiology and Pathophysiology, University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf, Germany
Rev Neurosci 19:441-50. 2008..The importance of synchronization processes for normal and pathological pain processing, such as chronic pain states, is discussed...
Attention to painful stimulation enhances gamma-band activity and synchronization in human sensorimotor cortexMichael Hauck

Department of Neurophysiology and Pathophysiology, University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf, Martinistr 52, 20246 Hamburg, Germany
Brain Res 1125:17-25. 2006..We conclude that a focused view on SEP of the lower limb could be a useful tool to investigate pathological states in motor control or peripheral deafferentiation...
Mechanisms of placebo analgesia: rACC recruitment of a subcortical antinociceptive networkU Bingel
NeuroImage Nord, Institute for Systems Neuroscience, University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf, Germany
Pain 120:8-15. 2006..This finding supports the view that placebo analgesia depends on the enhanced functional connectivity of the rACC with subcortical brain structures that are crucial for conditioned learning and descending inhibition of nociception...

Department of Neurophysiology and Pathophysiology, University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany
J Pain Res 4:79-83. 2011..This result rather suggests that the somatotopy of placebo analgesia relies on the creation of spatially guided expectations or conditioning, but can be maintained without ongoing monitoring of the affected body part...
