have you ever given a pasteboard slouch, those in which you're super stuck and not see it coming? And you Pacatele out with the typical not you ... me. Although I have been fortunate to not suffer ordeal, because if I saw one other guy who is waste that experience. Typically, and with a few drinks but confesses that it hurts pasteboard barrel.
The point here is, that "pain" is a physical pain, "that is, it really hurts, it hurts, it hurts for example when you are struck , or perhaps when one is burned with a hot cup of coffee?. Well researchers undertook the task of exploring whether both types of "pain" shared the same neural substrates. Well, if these parts of the brain responsible for processing and producing both types of "pain." Ethan Kross, Mark Berman, Walter Mischel, Edward Smith and Tor Wager of the University of Michigan, Columbia and Colorado, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences article titled: "Social rejection somatosensory representation shares with physical pain, or something like "Social rejection Share somatosensory representations with physical pain."
How to explore?
These researchers conducted an experiment very interesting. Recruited volunteers who had recently been cut from a romantic relationship, emphasizing that they had been cut and they had not decided to end the relationship. During the experiment were shown pictures of their ex-partners and asked them to think specifically about the experience of rupture, while investigators obtained functional brain imaging using MRI. As a control, also showed them pictures of friends while they thought they had a positive experience shared with them. To compare these data with the physical pain, the volunteers also underwent a painful thermal stimulus, and a thermal stimulus painless as control.
"Well and ... painful or painless?
activation Areas real physical pain and emotional after being cut in a relationship.
As researchers found that sensory areas activated in treasury pain conditions also activated when the volunteers remember the time of the breakup with her ex-partner. Areas that have shown are involved in these processes are secondary somatosensory cortex and the dorsal posterior cortex of the insula, both being active both during the physical and emotional pain. The researchers concluded that subjects not only reported both types of experiences as painful, but both experiences share the same representation in the brain.
do you think ... Does it hurt or not?
