Instructions
Fear  that  makes  you  vomit,  the  sting  of  a  rejection,  paralyzing  grief    emotional  pain  can    in  many  physical  symptoms.  And  while  writers  and  musicians  have  spun  tales  and  crafted  songs  intertwining  physical  and  emotional  pain  for  centuries,  scientists  have  found  it  more  difficult  to  describe  the  relationship  between  the  two.  Now,  recent  breakthroughs  are  shedding    on  the  shared  mechanisms  that  underlie  both  kinds  of  pain,  offering  an  explanation  as  to  why  one  leads  to  the  other  and  providing    for  treating  some  of  our  most  debilitating  conditions.  While  senses  like  vision  and  hearing  have  nerve  pathways  that  can  be  traced  from  the  eyes  and  ears  to  a  distinct  brain  region,  brain  activity  in  response  to  pain  is  more  complex.  It    thoughts  and  emotions,  which  is  why  a  good  book  can  lessen  a  toothache,  for  instance,  or  the  pain  from  a  hot  probe  hurts  more  when  you  feel  sad.
