The role of the cingulum in deep brain stimulation of the limbic pain matrix
Thomas Kinfe
TL;DR
This commentary discusses the cingulum's role in deep brain stimulation for chronic pain.
Contribution
It highlights the cingulum as a potential target for treating intractable pain.
Findings
The cingulum is identified as a central area in the limbic pain matrix.
Its anatomy and connectivity suggest a key role in pain modulation.
