The paper examines functional connectivity differences between women with and without improvement in centralized symptoms after hysterectomy, finding increased connectivity in pain integration regions and decreased connectivity in pain modulation regions in non-improvers.

The paper benchmarks the Fast and Efficient Mixed-Effects Algorithm (FEMA) against conventional mixed-effects modeling for longitudinal neuroimaging data and finds high concordance with minor differences in variance component estimates.

The paper describes the neuroimaging component of the A2CPS project, detailing data collection, processing, and initial findings linking brain measures to clinical variables.
