Physiology of Pain

Abstract

We give different characters to the pain. If a child is injured, he will cry and say, "I have a wound". The mother will ask: where does my love hurt? Consider that these are two different approaches to pain: 1. The emotional element of pain, which is phylogenetically primitive and deals with pain as something unpleasant, which must be avoided and the most recent: 2. the distinct element of pain, which is the ability to perceive exactly where the pain is and to respond appropriately.
