abstract = {Behavioral studies have demonstrated that descending pain
modulation can be spatially specific, as is evident in
placebo analgesia, which can be limited to the location at
which pain relief is expected. This suggests that
higher-order cortical structures of the descending pain
modulatory system carry spatial information about the site
of stimulation. Here, we used functional magnetic resonance
imaging and multivariate pattern analysis in 15 healthy
human volunteers to test whether spatial information of
painful stimuli is represented in areas of the descending
pain modulatory system. We show that the site of nociceptive
stimulation (arm or leg) can be successfully decoded from
local patterns of brain activity during the anticipation and
receipt of painful stimulation in the rostral anterior
cingulate cortex, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortices, and
the contralateral parietal operculum. These results
demonstrate that information regarding the site of
nociceptive stimulation is represented in these brain
regions. Attempts to predict arm and leg stimulation from
the periaqueductal gray, control regions (e.g., white
matter) or the control time interval in the intertrial phase
did not allow for classifications above chance level. This
finding represents an important conceptual advance in the
understanding of endogenous pain control mechanisms by
bridging the gap between previous behavioral and
neuroimaging studies, suggesting a spatial specificity of
endogenous pain control.},
