Altered brain activation to colorectal distention in visceral hypersensitive maternal‐separated rats

Background  Early life trauma can predispose to increased visceral pain perception. Human neuroimaging studies emphasize that altered brain processing may contribute to increased visceral sensitivity. The aim of our study was to evaluate brain responses to painful visceral stimuli in maternal‐separated rats before and after acute stress exposure in vivo.
