Lewis Crawford and Damien Boorman (University of Sydney) are currently working to explore the functional and neural mechanisms of placebo analgesia and broader pain modulatory effects in humans and experimental animals, respectively.
Placebo across the Pacific: Aussie insights into preclinical and experimental placebo analgesia
Abstract: In this presentation, Lewis will discuss his recent work identifying the brainstem pathways underlying placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia using 7T-fMRI, as well as his ongoing investigation into how changes in cortical connectivity may drive these modulatory effects.
Damien will present his PhD work on developing novel animal models of placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia in the context of neuropathic pain. These models include both opioid-driven and stimulus-driven conditioned placebo or nocebo effects.
