We investigated the effect of outcome-uncertainty on learning and endogenous pain modulation in a probabilistic gambling task.
Results show that pain inhibition from winning pain relief increases as a function of certainty in what action lead to the relief of pain.

This is heartbreaking 💔 to read. Thank you 🙏 for sharing this with us. I want to apologize to you on behalf of real Americans. It’s a painful reminder that we must keep resisting these harmful policies so we don’t lose more people like @wwenneuro.bsky.social, whom we spent over a decade training.
After 13 years in the US, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave. Having packed up everything and rethought about priorities, rather painstakingly, while I’m sad to leave the life I’ve made here, I’m also relieved that I won’t have to plan my life around immigration policies anymore.
