7/ A subregion dissociation sharpened it further: dlPFC–dl/lPAG connectivity tracked arousal/reactivity symptoms; dlPFC–vlPAG tracked avoidance. This maps onto known active vs. passive coping roles of these PAG columns.

3/ Under the highest load (3-back), higher PTSS predicted reduced activation in left dlPFC and left IFGpo, core lateral prefrontal control regions. The effect was load-dependent: absent at low demand, emerging only when executive demand peaked.

2/ 53 chronic low back pain participants did an N-back task during fMRI across four loads (0- to 3-back). We tested PTSS both dimensionally (PCL-5) and as a high/low split, and asked whether trauma load shapes task-evoked activation and connectivity.

1/ Chronic pain and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) co-occur very commonly, yet how they interact in the brain is unclear. New from our lab: trauma symptoms reorganize working memory circuits in chronic pain, even when behavior looks normal. Veinot & Hashmi, PAIN, 2026 🧵

We are having an amazing time learning about the brain circuitry at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience meeting in Toronto. Not a lot of human brain neuroimaging or pain mechanisms, but hey, that can change! #CANACN2025 #neuroscience @canacn.bsky.social

P1. Invitation Oh do you have time to linger for just a little while out of your busy and very important day for the goldfinches that have gathered in a field of thistles for a musical battle, to see who can sing the highest note, or the lowest, or the most expressive of mirth, or the most tender?
