运用多模态磁共振脑成像技术（结构成像、fMRI、 DTI、ASL、MR spectroscopy等）探索
1）人类中枢神经系统如何在急性和慢性环境中产生和调节疼痛的经历；
2）意识状态、记忆、情绪等对疼痛的影响机制；
3）脑干和脊髓功能成像来研究触觉、痛觉和痒觉的上行传递和下行调节机制；
4）慢性疼痛的脑机制以及镇痛策略;

课题组以"认识疼痛，评估疼痛，缓解疼痛"为目标，从神经科学、心理学、医学生理学、遗传学和人类学角度，采用神经影像学技术、行为学方法等多种研究手段，对健康人群及疼痛患者进行全面的探究，研究躯体感觉神经通路、慢性疼痛脑机制以及有效的镇痛策略。

欢迎加入我们一起探讨疼痛脑机制和磁共振成像研究！
