Description
Carmen Bango and co-authors link teen pain to how brain networks talk at rest in work dated two thousand twenty-six. Teen pain is common and costly, yet its brain roots are little charted in large community samples. Resting scans from a big United States youth study offered a wide lens.
Near five thousand youths, about half with pain in the past month, were compared with mixed models. No link split the pain and no-pain groups as wholes. Inside the pain group, though, stronger average pain went with weaker links between the frontoparietal control network and hand, mouth, and hearing sense networks. Hearing and sight networks linked more strongly as pain rose. The pattern hints at how control and sense systems trade off in sore teens.
