Nature Reviews Neuroscience 18, 20 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.162 Authors: Rohini Kuner & Herta Flor Chronic pain is not simply a temporal continuum of acute pain. Studies on functional plasticity in neural circuits of pain have provided mechanistic insights and linked various modulatory factors to a change in perception and behaviour. However, plasticity also occurs in the context of structural
