Emotional and Motivational Pain Processing: Current State of Knowledge and Perspectives in Translational Research by Susanne Becker, Edita Navratilova, Frauke Nees, Stefaan Van Damme

“…Such a shift often results in impaired functionality, leading to maladaptive pain-related fear and anxiety and escape and avoidance behaviors. Neuroimaging studies in chronic pain patients have established that brain activity, especially in cortical and mesolimbic regions, is different from activity observed during acute pain in control subjects. …”
