The subjective experience of pain is produced by one brain region alone, according to the material.

### Why this is right The material names multiple regions involved in interpreting pain signals and generating the subjective experience: the thalamus, somatosensory cortex, insula, and anterior cingulate cortex. It therefore describes a network rather than one sole region. ### The concept Distributed processing means that different regions contribute to aspects of a complex experience. Brain processing also interacts with spinal transmission and descending modulation. ### Terms - **Subjective experience**: an individual's consciously felt experience. - **Anterior cingulate cortex**: a region named as part of the pain-processing network. ### Remember Pain perception is network-based, not assigned to one isolated brain location.
