Stanley Spencer painted about a dozen landscapes in and around Leonard Stanley in Gloucestershire during the early 1940s. The village, not far from Stroud, contains the remains of a Benedictine priory which lies at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment.

Can machine learning really beat classic stats at classifying chronic pain?
Excited to share the first in our series of papers using hypothesis-driven analyses to identify reproducible, verifiable biomarkers of chronic pain. We validated findings across three cohorts (N=197).

Sunavsky et al. find that chronic low back pain is associated with hyperconnectivity between the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex regions, a pattern that predicts pain intensity and was partly reproduced between different study cohorts #PAIN bit.ly/4neD5zr
