Give me a pain that I am used to: distinct habituation patterns to painful and non-painful stimulation

Abstract Pain habituation is associated with a decrease of activation in brain areas related to pain perception. However, little is known about the specificity of these decreases to pain, as habituation has also been described for other responses like spinal reflexes and other sensory responses. Thu...
