A Corrigendum on
Brainstem Pain-Modulation Circuitry and Its Plasticity in Neuropathic Pain: Insights From Human Brain Imaging Investigations

by Mills, E. P., Keay, K. A., and Henderson, L. A. (2021). Front. Pain Res. 2:705345. doi: 10.3389/fpain.2021.705345

In the original article, there was a mistake in the legend for Figure 4 as published. This legend is not fully cited, and Dove Medical Press requires acknowledgement as the original publisher. The correct legend appears below.

Figure 4. Spontaneous changes in periaqueductal grey (PAG) - rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) - spinal trigeminal nucleus (SpV) fMRI signal coupling in chronic neuropathic orofacial pain. Compared to controls, individuals with chronic pain show enhanced positive functional connectivity between the RVM “seed” and the PAG and SpV, in addition to the locus coeruleus (LC) and subnucleus reticularis dorsalis (SRD). Furthermore, in neuropathic pain patients, as the intensity of their clinical pain changes throughout a 12-min fMRI scan, so too do their RVM connectivity strengths with the PAG and SpV. That is, when pain intensity is spontaneously low, RVM connectivity strengths with both the PAG and SpV are low; and when pain intensity is spontaneously high, RVM connectivity strengths are high and positive. *significant between-groups difference determined in a voxel-by-voxel analysis.
