Summary

This project aims to investigate how our emotions make individuals susceptible to the experience of pain. By identifying and applying a translational model of emotional flexibility, the neural networks that underly comorbidities of fear and anxiety disorders will be correlated with pain phenotypes to determine underlying mechanisms that predict susceptibility to pain.
