| Popis: | Over the last half century, lesion and single-unit recording studies across multiple species converge on the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) as central to pain processing (1⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓–7). Our response (i) identifies a flaw in Wager et al.’s analysis (8) that underestimates the dACC’s contribution to pain and (ii) presents dACC-wide posterior probability analyses that provide further evidence that pain is a better account of dACC function than executive, conflict, or salience processes. Issues regarding our use of Z-scores, the proper definition of selectivity, and whether one can categorize a neural region in terms of a particular function are addressed elsewhere (https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/social-brain-social-mind/201601/more-evidence-pain-related-description-dacc). |
