[AMP-L] Mapping Phantom Limb Pain Within the Brain

[Wayne Renardson]

via Amplitude:

For the first time, neuroscientists have recorded objective 
biomarkers of chronic pain from inside the brain of individuals 
suffering from phantom limb pain (PLP) and other forms of chronic 
pain.  

Funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Defense 
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the research marks a key 
advance in mapping chronic pain signals to a specific part of the 
brain. This long sought-after goal could open the door to new 
treatments for relieving PLP and other forms of chronic pain.
