Research Article: Inhibition and Heart Rate Variability in Experimentally Induced Pain
Introduction:
Pain, conceptualized as a homeostatic emotion, is a multidimensional experience that induces an adaptive behavioral response to re-establish the homeostatic balance. , Accordingly, the integration of sensorial, physiological, and cognitive processes related to pain involves multiple brain networks. – The overlapping of these neural networks would justify the influencing role of executive functions (EF) in the pain experience. , Specifically, the prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a relevant role in this interaction.…
