Working Memory Load-Dependent Cortical Mechanism of Distraction Analgesia in Healthy Individuals: An fNIRS Study
This study provides evidence for load-dependent cortical mechanism of distraction analgesia in healthy individuals. We conclude that distraction analgesia effect of WM may result from suppression of sensorimotor cortical activity and decoupling of pain-processing networks.
