fMRI differentiates physical from emotional pain

http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-sci-pain-measure-fmri-20130409,0,5200467.story

A group of scientists at the University of Michigan have succeeded in using functional magnetic resonance imaging to tease apart the brain’s consistent response to physical pain from its very similar response to emotional pain. The result is a moving picture of physical pain that allowed the researchers to predict with remarkable accuracy whether the individual whose brain they were watching was experiencing intense physical pain, the sensation of a warm spot on his arm, or the sting of social rejection.

    Hi! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however
    I needed to ask. Does running a well-established website like yours
    require a large amount of work? I’m completely new to operating a blog however I do write in my
    diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a
    blog so I will be able to share my own experience and feelings online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions
    or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners.
    Thankyou!

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if
    you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest
    twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and
    was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything.
    I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    When someone writes an paragraph he/she retains the thought of a user in his/her mind that how a user can understand it.
    Therefore that’s why this piece of writing is great.
    Thanks!

    Amazing blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring
    writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little
    lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with
    a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely
    confused .. Any recommendations? Bless you!
