| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was elucidating the pathophysiological mechanism of neuropathic pain. We revealed dysfunction of their visuospatial and body-midline representation and internal space representation; and also these deviations were split. Further, movement dysfunction of the affected upper-limb was observed in the light condition. Using a humanoid robot, we created the sensori-motor incongruence model of an upper limb and thereby the model could suggest representative movement is critical for the dysfunction. Brain regions involved in the sensori-motor congruency were not related with experimentally-noxious stimuli.
Dysfunction of movement representations would have a causative link with neuropathic pain.
