N2 - The significant inter-individual variability in pain behavior and its contributing factors remains a pervasive clinical challenge and has generated intense scientific investigations in this field. Recent studies indicate that our genes considerably influence nociceptive information processes, how our nociceptive system copes with peripheral injury, and the individual response to analgesic treatments. Neuroimaging studies of pain are beginning to link such genetic influences with physiological processes in the human brain. This review presents the pioneering endeavors of the hybrid approach of neuroimaging pain genes in humans and identifies potential future directions.
