Origins, evolution, and emotional dimensions of pain
Pain stands as the most elemental of all sensory experiences. It is universal across animals with nervous systems, immediate in its demand for attention, and profound in its capacity to alter behavior. Yet, it remains one of the most enigmatic phenomena in biology and neuroscience.
