“…Among these, the first study was performed using SPECT, and it revealed activation at the upper pons, left sensorimotor cortex, right frontal cortex, and bilateral somatosensory cortex during bladder filling in healthy volunteers [36]. These findings were consistently reproduced by PET and fMRI using more advanced visuo-mathematical analysis tools; in addition, the activation in the PAG, cerebellum, thalamus, basal ganglia, insular cortex (IC), anterior cingulate (ACG), and prefrontal cortex are consistently observed [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] (Fig. 3A).…”
