fMRI-based biomarkers for pain and distress [Prof. Tor D. Wager describes] a series of studies developing fMRI as a sensitive and specific biomarker for acute physical pain. These biomarkers provide new information on the roles of anterior cingulate, insula, thalamus, SII/dorsal posterior insula, and other ‘pain intensity coding’ regions in pain vs. other emotional experiences, and provide new ways of testing the effects of attention, emotion, and expectancy on ‘pain processing’ in the brain.
