Study about seeing pain center in brain

04-11-2013, 06:22 AM

Hi all, I just wanted to stop by and add a link to an article that I saw on WebMD this morning. It's about a study where pain centers in the brain were seen on a specialized MRI. Interesting, Also note that the article says that the purpose of this imaging is NOT to see who is lying about actually being in pain, and it's nice that they put that statement in there. Anyway, here's the link:
