“… Chen et al, 2018 ). Pain-related alterations in rsFC between the parahippocampal gyrus and amygdala to cortical regions have also been previously identified, with the direction of association reported dependent on the cortical region and population (X. F. Chen et al, 2022 , Desmarteaux et al, 2021 , Mao et al, 2022 , Verriotis et al, 2022 ). In addition to their roles in pain processing, the parahippocampal gyrus and amygdala are involved in processes of emotion, memory, attention, and conditional learning through association of stimuli with positive or negative outcomes ( Aminoff et al, 2013 , Gallagher and Chiba, 1996 ).…”
