https://www.selleckchem.com/products/deferiprone.html The patient-clinician interaction can powerfully shape treatment outcomes such as pain but is often considered an intangible "art of medicine" and has largely eluded scientific inquiry. Although brain correlates of social processes such as empathy and theory of mind have been studied using single-subject designs, specific behavioral and neural mechanisms underpinning the patient-clinician interaction are unknown. Using a two-person interactive design, we simultaneously recorded functional magnetic resonance imaging (hyperscanning) in patient-clinician dyads, who interacted via live video, while clinicians treated evoked pain in patients with chronic pain. Our results show that patient analgesia is mediated by patient-clinician nonverbal behavioral mirroring and brain-to-brain concordance in circuitry implicated in theory of mind and social mirroring. Dyad-based analyses showed extensive dynamic coupling of these brain nodes with the partners' brain activity, yet only in dyads with pre-established clinical rapport. These findings introduce a putatively key brain-behavioral mechanism for therapeutic alliance and psychosocial analgesia.Fluorescence microscopes are indispensable to biology and neuroscience. The need for recording in freely behaving animals has further driven the development in miniaturized microscopes (miniscopes). However, conventional microscopes/miniscopes are inherently constrained by their limited space-bandwidth product, shallow depth of field (DOF), and inability to resolve three-dimensional (3D) distributed emitters. Here, we present a Computational Miniature Mesoscope (CM2) that overcomes these bottlenecks and enables single-shot 3D imaging across an 8 mm by 7 mm field of view and 2.5-mm DOF, achieving 7-μm lateral resolution and better than 200-μm axial resolution. The CM2 features a compact lightweight design that integrates a microlens array for imaging and a light-emitting diode array fo
