Pain responses are triggered in response to physical injury as well as psychological or emotional stressors. However, the mechanisms underlying social or emotional pain transmission are poorly ...

An international team of scientists has identified the neural mechanisms through which sound blunts pain in mice. The findings, which could inform development of safer methods to treat pain, were ...

Pain is an important physiological response in living organisms. While physical pain is an outcome of tissue damage, pain can manifest as diverse unpleasant sensory and emotional experiences.

In dealing with chronic illness, I've developed a personal relationship to sound and pain. I think back to the time I begged my younger siblings to turn off the Nintendo because I felt like the ...

New research in mice demonstrates that pain relief by sound is not purely attributable to stress reduction and distraction; the study reveals a neural circuit underlying sound-induced analgesia in the ...
