We investigated the brain activation associated with sweet taste-induced analgesia by 3-T functional magnetic resonance imaging, the mechanism of which is considered to involve the central nervous system. After 12 healthy individuals ingested tasteless gelatin (nonsweet condition) or sweet glucose (sweet condition) in a magnetic resonance imaging scanning gantry, the cold pressor test was applied to their medial forearm. Under both conditions, the cold pressor test robustly activated the pain-related neural network, notably the anterior cingulate cortex, insula, posterior parietal cortex, and thalamus, although such activations under the sweet condition weakened with pain threshold increase, compared with those under the nonsweet condition. Together with emotional changes in pain appraisal, our findings provide objective representation of sweet taste-induced analgesia in the human brain.
