| Research Abstract |
The main objectives of this research project were to investigate mechanisms of pain perception in human brain by using various kinds of non-invasive neuroimaging methods and to develop new therapies for pain alleviation based on basic studies. In the studies in healthy volunteers, we clarified the mechanisms of "pain in mind", and differences of brain activation to perceive quick (sharp) pain and slow (burning) pain. In the studies of patients suffering from intractable pain, we developed some new methods with neurosurgeons.
