Most of us cringe when we hear the word pain. Let's remember the day when we were seven years old and broke our arm, or the moment of inattention that just yesterday caused us to fry ourselves again while cooking dinner. At that moment, anyone would swear that they know everything about pain. But as soon as the first wave of pain subsides, it leaves room for questions. What is pain anyway? Why do I hurt? How do I stop it?
The story of pain is full of unknowns, as it is not only tied to a physical stimulus, but is a phenomenon in which it is embedded the entire spectrum of our existence: it depends on ours relationship to pain, ours beliefs, situations, may not have a physical stimulus but is the origin psychologically, sociological or interlacing everyone. Nor is pain always bad, as it is sometimes necessary cause for growth and changes in our lives.
The creators of this year's Brain Week think pain is such an interesting and multifaceted phenomenon that they decided to devote the entire week to researching its various faces. Welcome to Brain Week 2019 between 11 and 15 March 2019, where it will be possible to wonder, question and explore our brain and the world around it. You can find more about the program at this link.
