Regional brain functions in the resting state indicative of potential differences between depression and chronic pain
Abstract Complex relationships between depression and chronic pain have been reported in previous studies. However, only a few neuroimaging studies have investigated similarities and differences in neural systems underlying them. We examined the brain functions in the resting state of 43 patients wi...
