Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The treatment of chronic pain represents a widespread clinical challenge. Current approaches to network-based mapping of the cerebral cortex have the potential to localize chronic pain in the brain. In an effort to further characterize the dynamical brain networks, or the 'dynome' in the setting of chronic pain, we performed a Coordinate-Based Meta-Analysis of resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging studies on chronic pain to create a multinetwork dynome of chronic pain. A cluster-level analysis generated seven statistically significant activation likelihood estimates (ALEs): one for chronic pain as a whole dynome, three for chronic pain conditions, and three for chronic pain mechanisms. Chronic pain is a complex disease process involving tripartite network dysfunction encompassing the Default Mode Network, Central Executive Network and Salience Network. Chronic visceral pain was distinct from chronic headache and chronic musculoskeletal pain, and chronic pain mechanisms have the potential to share common cortical network rearrangements with their respective chronic pain conditions. Collectively, this work represents the first anatomically specific network-based cortical map of chronic pain, with representation of disease-specific and mechanism-specific disruptions in cortical function.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
