Anatomy of pain can bring relief
Queensland researchers have made a discovery that sheds important new light on how the brain processes pain, and how central emotions are in the pain experience. This very reliable connection means that any signal that reaches the brain’s pain centre is almost guaranteed to set off a signal in the central amygdala. And the cells there trigger emotional responses—emotions, hormones, blood pressure increases and so on.
