Consciousness, cortical function, and pain perception in nonverbal humans
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 30 (1):82-83 (2007)
| Abstract | Postulating the subcortical organization of human consciousness provides a critical link for the construal of pain in patients with impaired cortical function or cortical immaturity during early development. Practical implications of the centrencephalic proposal include the redefinition of pain, improved pain assessment in nonverbal humans, and benefits of adequate analgesia/anesthesia for these patients, which certainly justify the rigorous scientific efforts required.
