Multiple somatotopic representations of heat and mechanical pain in the operculo-insular cortex: a high-resolution fMRI study.

Whereas studies of somatotopic representation of touch have been useful to distinguish multiple somatosensory areas within primary (SI) and secondary (SII) somatosensory cortex regions, no such analysis exists for the representation of pain across nociceptive modalities.
