Direct comparisons of neural activity during placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia between humans and rats Communications Biology - A novel framework for cross-species analysis reveals the conserved and species-specific neural circuitry underlying placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia.

rdcu.be/egC1Z Our study explores how placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia affects pain in humans and rats. Using c-Fos in rats and fMRI in humans, we report significant common brain activity patterns. Our findings validate animal models for placebo research. #painresearch #painpapers
