Pain and aversive learning: from computational neuroscience to clinical neuroengineering.
 
Chronic pain is the leading global cause of disability, and it is widely accepted that central (brain) maladaptive processes play a fundamental role in the chronification of pain after injury. However, rather than there being a single neural pathway or risk factor underlying chronification, it is likely that a host of underlying mechanisms interact to produce the complex neurobehavioural phenotype that leads to chronic pain. But in most people pain is good, providing a highly effective system for teaching us to avoid harm throughout life. Understanding and treating chronic pain relies on first understanding how the good pain system work. I will present an engineering approach to the problem, and set out how we can develop a quantitative account of the individual learning operations (computations) involved in the healthy pain system. Based on this, it is possible to construct an integrated 'systems-level' model of pain as a complex biological system. Ultimately, this allows us to develop a bioengineering-based treatment approach that specifically targets brain-based learning mechanisms.
