The concepts presented in this blog cover the basic issues of neuronal activity, well-established concepts in biology. This is not about philosophical speculations, but cellular routines in the organism’s day to day.
Invariably, the reaction to the above is a surprise:
- It's the first time I've heard this...
or disagreement:
- I'm not convinced ...
Pain is a perception...
Citizens and professionals are not too interested in knowing how the body builds what we perceive. We perceive it, period. If I perceive pain, then I’ll take a pain "antiperceiver". If it’s effective, there are no more questions.
Pain is a perception that the brain builds and projects onto a region of space occupied by the body...
- Leave the brains aside. What’s bothering me is my back...
Professionals and citizens devote their energies to identify the source of pain where it hurts and apply remedies there. Low back pain, please!, is a matter of muscle and skeleton... stop the nonsense!
Pain is a perception that the brain builds and projects onto a region of space occupied by the body that involves an assessment of threat...
- I DON’T think ... It hurts, period!
The reference to the brain is understood as a reference to the individual. Professionals and citizens share that identification error (the myth of me, myself and I).
Pain is a perception that the brain builds and projects onto a region of space occupied by the body that involves an assessment of threat (which is sometimes wrong)...
- You’re the one that’s wrong.
Citizens and professionals don’t give importance to the fallible condition of our brain. The immune system’s fallibility condition is recognized (allergies, autoimmune diseases), but not the neural network’s.
Pain is a perception that the brain builds and projects onto a region of space occupied by the body that involves an assessment of threat (which is sometimes wrong) of necrotic damage...
- What is that?
Citizens and professionals equate pain and damage. Any damage, either acute or chronic, degenerative or necrotic, actual or potential ... any inconvenience (“it turned out to be a cloudy day”...) is sufficient to justify the pain ... Necrosis? You won’t find that term on publications.
Pain is a perception that the brain builds and projects onto a region of space occupied by the body that involves an assessment of threat (which is sometimes wrong) of necrotic damage and that incites the individual...
- Pain exists only to annoy me... get it out of me!
Citizens and professionals disregard the role of pain from the perspective of the organism. It’s annoying, it leads to suffering. It has no purpose. The pain is a disease. We must fight it, dissolve it, kill it, cancel its receptors, its paths, its centers ... The problem is that there are no receptors, paths and pain centers.
Pain is a perception that the brain builds and projects onto a region of space occupied by the body that involves an assessment of threat (which is sometimes wrong) of necrotic damage and that incites the individual to an avoidance behavior...
- I avoid whatever causes me pain and do whatever relieves it.
The aim of perception is to encourage the individual to a previously scheduled action which is considered necessary by the organism. The aim of the itch perception is to encourage the individual to scratch even when there isn’t any parasite or toxic on the skin. The brain doesn’t want to avoid pain, but the risk of harm. If it is instructed to equate pain and threat of injury, any action it considers as protective will tend to soften the intensity of pain (placebo).
Pain is a perception ................ and incites the individual to avoid harm.
Through pain, the brain tries to force the individual to focus on the painful area, a place rated as vulnerable even when it’s not the case.
The biology of pain is a hidden, silenced science. It doesn’t matter, it disturbs, attacks the interests of citizens and professionals.
Its place is squatted by occult sciences, supported from the “anything goes” (magical molecules, energy meridians, memories of molecules, diet, meditation, massage, bone and tendon relocations ...).
- Brain? No, thanks ... I’m more into science.
