Thalamic and cortical regions show increased BOLD response during the alternating warm/pain condition for the painful stimuli compared with warm nonpainful baseline. Cluster size refers to the size of the cluster in cubed millimeters with t values superior to 2.5. t scores significant in global search are bolded and underlined. t scores and cluster sizes significant in the directed search are indicated in bold.
