Pain is in the Brain!

[suchlovelybones]

i wish i could link this video to another =/ it really comes in handy when trying to explain the biology of things to people who obviously didn't pay attention in school.

[eekamoose]

No sound at all.

[ellaouise20]

good but sound is terrible!!

[abp1967abp]

What a load of nonsense, so this has been a theory since 1965 yet here we are 46 years later and it still remains a theory.

[Beckierful]

Audio is shit

[rustcorpsickle1]

the audio is not clear..:(

[longlakeshore]

All pain is in the brain? Duh. So is every sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch. So is every breath and every heartbeat. Doesn't make pain any less awful.

[larisabrodman]

I didnt hear ANYTHING!!!!

[Axon36]

Wow....this is what a call a statement!. So...5 decades careful analysis and detailed characterization of pathways, circuits, neuronal types, membrane electrical properties and encoding molecules it had been a waste of time.....you just found the answer....we need to know what consciousness is!....:D.....good for you...you should publish this finding. I already give you an answer to your question....take care.

[vicoy123]

they say love is pain and pain is love

[Axon36]

@vicoy123

That it's because they doesn't have neuropathological pain syndromes.

[cmpresents]

Stop wasting my time, if u don't know what pain is, the shut the he'll up.

[cmpresents]

Pain is in the brain. What bullshit is this. This video fails to explain what is pain. Is like those trying to explain conscious, they can't. Tell me how we feel pain when we dream. Again science giving the run around, but they still don't know what pain is.

[Axon36]

@cmpresents

Yes..we know what it's...not entirely but at less...I can give you an straight answer on terms what it means from a peripheral perspective. Do you want to know what it is?

[cmpresents]

@Axon36 No you don't. Don't tell me that pain travels from here to there, I already know that. Define pain, tell me exactly what it is.

[Axon36]

@cmpresents

So far we know it can be define by 3 different models: patter, gate and specificity. There is two kinds...acute and chronic..both mediated by different mechanisms. the acute form implies the direct activation of the so call nociceptors (primary sensory neurons which encode high energy variations..mechanical and thermal)...of two main types...C-HTMR and A-HTMR of 2 types each (C-Polymodals; C-Mechano; A-HTMR type I and A-HTMR Type II). The chronic form.....

[Axon36]

@cmpresents

The chornic form it's more complex....and it depends on multiple variables...in general implies the synchronic activation of superficial laminas on the spinal cord dorsal horn (Lam I, Lam II inner and Lam II outer).....this activation its mediated by a reduction in the excitability of vertical WDR interneurons (wide dynamic range) and de inhibition of tactile afferents in favor to reduce the electrical noise on this laminas increasing the temporal resolution of the....

[Axon36]

@cmpresents

Resolution of the nociceptive channel....in addition to a increment in the nociceptive excitability...the outcome is a constant nociceptive signal. Similar mechanism its possible but no required for the rest of the pathway to the cortex.

What I wrote. ..its a gross simplification....but I said......we know how it works...how to controlled and how can be modulated...it's a different history...but we will crack that also down....before my time it's over...we will.

[cmpresents]

@cmpresents You don't get it.

[Axon36]

@cmpresents

Really?...:D....Do you?

[cmpresents]

@Axon36 Don't you know that there are no theories for what pain is. Why is it so hard for you to understand my question. YOu would have to understand what consciousness is in order to understand what pain is. Since you don't have a clue as to what consiousness is, therefore you don't have a clue as to what pain is.

[brennanmark77]

Great graphics. Only comment would be nociceptors are not pain receptors as described. You can have nociception without a pain response. An important misunderstanding currently subscribed to by many!

[Axon36]

@brennanmark77

Agree. Pain its a sensation in the meanwhile nociception is remaking transduction and detection. However, it's also equivalent to say than on pathological processes...you could have a pain response without nociception....eg. allodynia.

[Nikostatik]

wow this vid actually has sound 0.o ?

i realised that only after i read some comments xD

srsly do something bout' it

[GreatNt249]

Guys, the person who made this video is NOT writing off pain as being some mental construct easily overcome through conscious thought, and that those experiencing pain should just "get over it." Instead, he's saying that the signals sent up through sensory neurons only become manifested as "pain" once the cortices of the brain can process and interpret incoming sensory inputs as pain.

Some of you need to quit looking for arguments where there are none and just watch the video for what it is.

[kliversidge]

This is a great clip, but with really poor volume levels. Is there any way you could repost it with better sound?

Thanks

[onixspace]

but if you look through out your whole life you've experienced pain every day of your life, almost every second. you put stress on your body when you walk, talk, eat, sleep, and etc........

In my opinion pain is the best teacher

[hanamid]

pain is in your mind you can overcome your mind

[xhevedet]

In terms of gross anatomy. yes this video shows that pain like everything else we experience in life, originates or is in someway "realized thru the amazing chemo-electric bio-computer the brain. We need to be very careful however about assuming that since pain is "in" the brain, that it is any less real or tangible. In fact , now that we can see the bio-mechanics of pain , it should spur on more aggressive use of opioid pain medications as these are the "Gold Standard "of all Pain Treatment

[foxgirl100]

so quiet!

[DrHMFIC]

This is an intellectualized view that lacks actual insight to significant pain, like experiential. One can say all that we're aware of is in the brain--even what we think, believe or see is going on when, say, we break our arm. Or perceive through our brain what we interpret as "broke our arm".

The problem w/ the view presented in this video is that it encourages those who are supposed to be providing care to patients with pain to ignore the very real impact & complications of untreated pain.

[n4979338]

Well said DrHMFIC, Since I was involved in an accident and began experiencing chronic debilitating pain 7 years ago, this viewpoint just pisses me off more and more. Esspecially when I come accross an annoying doctor who "knows". It is a purile and theoretical interpretation of what is happening througout a complex system of cells throughout the whole body esspecially in the location of damage.

[boorka614]

nice video

[WAKEupPEOPLEnow]

very true, pain, just like all the five senses, only exists in the brain. The "physical" world we "see" only exists in the visual cortex in the brain and nowhere else, making reality a dream like illusion

[Lanthanideatoms]

The visual world is real.. we developed the visual cortex to see it, NOT vice versa.. this is not a "matrix" movie... what about blind people who can't see? They can still understand the objects around them despite never seeing those objects before. Our earliest ancestors also did not have eyes, but relied on sense of smell and feel. So no more of this philosophy "Is this real?" nonsense please. Thanks.

[WAKEupPEOPLEnow]

The "real world" is just vibrating energy fields that the brain turns into matter. The eyes only take in visible light which is NOT physical. Visual matter is only formed in the brain. we live in a five sense illusion that our brain creates. We see,touch,taste,smell and hear with THE BRAIN! Atoms are made up of empty space and act depending on the observer. Reality = perception.

Hypnotism can make you see,touch,taste, things that "aren't there" because the brain

creates reality! FACT. Thanks.

[DrHMFIC]

Then you won't mind if a take a shit in your mouth, right?

[xhevedet]

As a sannyassin and zen lay practioner I must concede that on a spiritual level The so-called "Real World" or Reality is experiential so The experiencing of here now thisw/out the parroting of our mind, is the Nirvana experienced by the Gautama Buddha. So Reality with the capital R is experiencing the Universal , the Whole undivided energy field. I prefer the term "Buddhafield". Perception can't =Realiity as most individuals daydream and think about life, never diving directly into it. Ah This

[DrHMFIC]

"not a Matrix movie"--well said. People who like to do such mental masturbation are only boring until they use their nonsense to dismiss OTHER people's suffering, at which point it gets quite annoying.

[MimzyMingiSakura19]

Wow i'm 20 year old and not in college yet and i did not know that. Thanks for information.

[surbhidave]

this is such fantstic video specially for the medical student to know how the pain pathway of the brain works.
