Скачать или смотреть Dr. Tim Salomons - Biomarkers of Vulnerability and Resilience to Pain

About: Pain is devastating for some sufferers while others manage to cope and even thrive despite pain. Furthermore, some individuals seem to be more likely to develop pain in the wake of physical trauma (e.g. surgery). I will describe a series of studies where we attempt to understand individual differences in vulnerability to pain using brain and behavioral markers.

Tim Salomons, Ph.D., is interested in the cognitive and biological mechanisms that make pain salient and how individual differences in these mechanisms might underlie differences in coping and treatment response.

His work aims to understand how the brain and body interact to create the experience of pain, and why some people might be prone to develop pain while others are relatively resilient. He’s especially interested in the biological mechanisms that underlie cognitive and affective responses to pain and how this knowledge might help us treat pain.
