This study uses fNIRS to show that thumb and shoulder auricular points activate specific regions in the left primary somatosensory cortex, supporting somatotopy.

This study shows that painful electric shocks immediately after auditory words reduce next-day recollection of those words, suggesting pain disrupts memory encoding.

This study shows that non-painful auditory items presented in a context with painful electrical stimulation are less well remembered than those in a pain-free context.

The paper examines if insula-to-DMN connectivity correlates with acute pain intensity in healthy subjects and finds it does, suggesting potential for pain state classification.
