项目摘要

We have been studying human pain perception using electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), since they have an excellent temporal resolution in order of msec. MEG is more useful to detect activated areas following painful stimulation, because the spatial resolution of EEG is not very high. For recording activities following A delta fiber stimulation relating to the first pain, painful CO2 laser stimulation is now widely used, but our new method, epidermal stimulation (ES), is also very useful. The primary small activity was recorded from the primary somatosensory cortex (SI), probably in area 1, in the hemisphere contralateral to the stimulation. Then, secondary somatosensory cortex (SII) and insula were activated with the second activity in SI. These 3 regions were activated in parallel with almost the same time period. This is a very characteristic finding in pain perception. Then, the cingulate cortex and medial temporal area (MT) around the amygdala and hippocampus were activated. In the hemisphere ipsilateral to the stimulation as well, the above regions were activated, except for SI. Therefore, we speculated that SI plays a main role in localization of the stimulus point, the SII and insula are important sites for pain perception, and the cingulate and MT are mainly responsible for cognitive or emotional aspects of pain perception. For recording activities following C fiber stimulation relating to the second pain, we recently developed a new method, that is, applying weaker CO2 laser stimuli to tiny areas of the skin. MEG findings following C fiber stimulation were also similar to those following A delta fiber stimulation. However, the effects of sleep and attention on MEG following C fiber stimulation were much larger than that following A delta fiber stimulation. This finding may suggest greater effects of cognitive or emotional functions on second pain than the first pain.

我们一直在研究使用脑电图（EEG）和磁脑电图（MEG）的人类疼痛感知，因为它们在MSEC方面具有出色的时间分辨率。 MEG在疼痛刺激后检测活化区域更有用，因为脑电图的空间分辨率不是很高。为了记录与第一次疼痛有关的三角洲纤维刺激的活动，现在广泛使用了疼痛的二氧化碳激光刺激，但是我们的新方法表皮刺激（ES）也非常有用。主要的小活性是从一级体感皮质（SI）记录的，可能是区域1，在1区，在刺激的半球。然后，用Si中的第二个活性激活了次级体感皮层（SII）和岛。这3个区域与几乎相同的时期并联激活。这是疼痛感中的一个非常特征的发现。然后，激活杏仁核和海马周围的扣带回皮层和内侧颞区（MT）。在刺激的半球同侧，除Si外，上述区域被激活。因此，我们推测SI在刺激点的定位中起主要作用，SII和INSULA是疼痛感知的重要部位，扣带和MT主要负责疼痛感知的认知或情感方面。为了记录与第二个疼痛有关的C纤维刺激的活动，我们最近开发了一种新方法，即在皮肤的微小区域应用较弱的二氧化碳激光刺激。 C纤维刺激后的MEG发现也与Delta纤维刺激后的MEG发现相似。但是，在C纤维刺激后，睡眠和注意力对MEG的影响远大于Delta纤维刺激后的影响。这一发现可能表明，与第一次疼痛相比，认知或情感功能对第二次疼痛的影响更大。
