While abnormally increased Vigilance to pain is found in both ‘idiopathic’ and ‘nociceptive’ pain syndromes, the behavioral and neural characteristics of experimental Vigilance to pain are poorly understood. We propose to adapt a Continuous Performance Task (CPT) from Human Factors Research (e.g. air traffic controllers) to study Experimental Vigilance to pain. In our task, the subject pushes a button to indicate detection of painful target stimuli when they occur in a train of nontarget nonpainful stimuli, i.e. CPTpain. During a CPTpain, we propose to record and analyze local field potentials (LFP) directly from the brain through electrodes placed on the brain for the treatment of intractable epilepsy. This technique has unrivalled resolution but limited scope and so complements fMRI, which has lower resolution but surveys the whole brain. Our Premise is that: Errors and Arousal in a CPT with a painful target (CPTpain) mediate the behavioral and neural elements of Vigilance to pain, and affect Central Post Stroke Pain (CePSP). We propose to test the hypothesis that: Behaviors over time in a CPTpain are related to neural activations and interactions of modules in a network for Vigilance to pain, while changes in a behavior after a stroke identify the modules that are essential for that behavior, and for the development and symptoms of CePSP. Networks like this can be characterized by modules, and connections between modules as identified by their causal interactions. Our Preliminary Data shows that over time in a CPTpain detected nontargets and arousal are often associated with increased pain. These Data also suggest a Parietal EEG Signature for Vigilance to pain that is correlated with errors, suggesting that a Parietal module is involved in a distributed network for Vigilance to pain. Although these analyses of LFPs (or fMRI signals) do not prove that modules are essential for Vigilance to pain, a module can be identified as essential for a behavior if lesions of the module affect that behavior. Therefore, we propose to study stroke anatomy (by structural MRI) and behavioral measures in CPTpain in patients with acute strokes. We will use a software package developed at Hopkins for the analysis of lesions (LDDMM) with our long term collaborator, Dr. Hillis, who has broad experience with this package in studies of attention. Finally, our Preliminary Data demonstrates that Parietal structures are spared in patients with insular strokes who develop CePSP but are involved in patients with insular strokes who do not develop CePSP, which suggests a Parietal, Vigilance related mechanism for CePSP. The results of these proposed studies may frame testable hypotheses for the neuroscience of Vigilance to pain, and anatomically based therapies in the treatment of pain syndromes associated with Hypervigilance, and for an objective instrumented test of Vigilance to pain. The potential of analyses of networks for Vigilance to pain is suggested by the impact of network analyses on the neuroscience of vision, and on the development of novel surgical and stimulation therapies for the treatment of movement and psychiatric disorders.

虽然对疼痛的警惕性异常增加，但在“特发性”和综合症中却是 我们提出的对疼痛的实验性警惕的行为和神经特征 适应人为因素研究（例如空中交通管制员）的连续绩效任务（CPT） 在我们的任务中学习实验性警惕。 目标刺激发生在公证人刺激的火车中时，即CPTPAIN。 在CPTPAIN期间，我们直接从大脑中记录并进行局部电位（LFP） 通过放置在大脑上的电极，以进行可牵引的癫痫。 分辨率但范围有限，因此汇编了fMRI，该fMRI的分辨率较低，但可以调查整个大脑。 我们的前提是：在具有痛苦目标（CPTPAIN）的CPT中的错误和唤醒可以介导行为和 对疼痛的警惕性，并影响中央疼痛的中央疼痛（CEPSP）。 假设：随着时间的流逝，在CPTPAIN中的行为与模块的神经激活和相互作用有关 在警惕痛苦的网络中 对于这种行为，对于像这样的网络和症状的症状。 以模块为特征，以及由其因果相互作用确定的模块之间的连接。 我们的初步数据表明，随着时间的流逝，在CPTPAIN中，非目标和唤醒经常 与疼痛增加有关。 与错误相关，可证明一个顶叶模块参与分布式网络，以保持警惕 疼痛。 对于痛苦，如果模块的病变影响该行为，则可以将模块确定为行为必不可少的。 因此，我们建议在CPTPAIN中进行中风的触及Anatome（通过结构MRI）和行为措施 有访问的患者。我们将使用霍普金斯开发的软件包 （LDDMM）与我们的长期合作者Hillis博士，他在TUIS方面拥有广泛的经验 最终，我们的预要数据表明 开发CEPSP但参与岛状中风的患者的中风，这些患者不发展CEPSP， 这暗示了CEPSP的顶叶，警惕性的机制。 支撑研究的结果可能会对警惕性的神经科学进行可检验的假设。 疼痛，基于原子的疗法与疼痛综合征的治疗相关的疼痛综合症， 并进行客观的对痛苦的警惕性测试。 网络分析对视觉神经科学的影响以及发展的影响，使痛苦受到痛苦。 用于治疗运动和精神疾病运动的新型外科手术和刺激疗法。
