Brain Imaging: Looking into your pain
Episode 31, Apr 18, 2012, 09:05 AM
How pain can be seen in the brain, and the research showing pain to be a condition in its own right.
In this programme we feature two areas of research which are helping in the understanding of pain.
Professor Karen Davis, a neuroscientist at the University of Toronto, Canada, explains how brain-imaging technology has revealed the overlap between experiences of pain and other sensations such as fear.
Dr Yves De Koninck, Director of the Quebec Pain Research Network, discusses how the latest research on chronic pain supports the position that pain is a condition in its own right caused by abnormalities in the nervous system.
