Dynamic reconfiguration of directed effective connectivity between attention networks and the default mode network in knee osteoarthritis: a combined resting-state and non-noxious thermal stimulation functional magnetic resonance imaging study

Background: Chronic pain is understood as a disturbance of large-scale brain-network organization involving systems that coordinate internally and externally oriented processing. In knee osteoarthritis (KOA), altered connectivity involving attention networks and the default mode...
