Key findings Pain symptoms in adolescents are associated with default mode network connectivity, with more frequent pain linked to greater connectivity to the superior frontal gyrus and higher pain intensity linked to less connectivity to the cerebellum.

Abstract

Highlights • Pain symptoms in adolescents are associated with default mode network connectivity.• More frequent pain is associated with more connectivity to the superior frontal gyrus.• Higher pain intensity is associated with less connectivity to the cerebellum.
