“…Pain perception likely recruits multiple cortical sites that process different aspects of the pain experience. Future potential sites of interest include the prefrontal cortex, associated with the perception of the unpleasantness of pain (Lorenz, Minoshima, & Casey, 2003), or the parietal lobe, implicated in changes in body perception (e.g., Salanova, Andermann, Rasmussen, Olivier, & Quesney, 1995) and in the localization of touch and noxious stimuli (Porro et al, 2007). Areas that process the affective and reactive components of the pain experience, such as the anterior cingulate cortex and the insula (Derbyshire et al, 1997;Peyron et al, 2000;Rainville, 2002), should also be explored.…”
