This study uses fMRI to show that conditioned pain modulation involves reduced spinal activity and increased descending pain modulation during pain suppression in humans.

The paper investigates neural correlates of conditioned pain modulation (CPM) using fMRI and finds reduced activation in parietal operculum and posterior insula associated with CPM.

This study investigates neural prediction error signals in aversive learning using fMRI in humans, finding asymmetric representation of threat omission PEs in the medial prefrontal cortex.

This study shows that transcranial theta-burst stimulation of primary sensory cortex reduces threat memory in humans, with no difference between simple and complex stimuli.

This study investigates how dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonism affects probability weighting during risky decision-making in healthy individuals and pathological gamblers.
