PMID:  17988951     Owner:  NLM     Status:  MEDLINE    
Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PERSPECTIVE: Contact heat can generate readily distinguishable evoked potentials on the scalp, consistent between upper and lower limbs. Although these potentials bear positive correlation with both stimulus intensity and pain magnitude, the latter is the main contributor to the evoked brain response.
