Pain inhibition by optogenetic activation of specific anterior cingulate cortical neurons.

Pain inhibition by optogenetic activation of specific anterior cingulate cortical neurons.

Cumulative evidence from both humans and animals suggests that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is important for pain-related perception, and thus a likely target for pain relief therapy. However, use of existing electrode based ACC stimulation has not significantly reduced pain, at least in part...
