Pain ‐free default mode network connectivity contributes to tonic experimental pain intensity beyond the role of negative mood and other pain‐related factors

ConclusionsThis work suggests that pain-free mPFC-lAG connectivity (at lower alpha) may contribute to individual variations in pain-related vulnerability.SignificanceThese findings could potentially lead the way for investigations in which DMN connectivity is used in identifying individuals more likely to develop chronic pain.
