Why Chronic Pain Persists: The Brain’s Hidden Pain Mechanism Revealed
A team of researchers and neuroscientists recently identified a new function of the human somatosensory cortex. It is a circuit inside the human brain that only activates after people get injured by something. However, the best part about this research was that the neuroscientists claim that the elimination of chronic pain inside a person’s body is possible by silencing a specific cell, while preserving acute pain responses in the body. It therefore will not hinder the brain's work of signalling danger.  Identifying the Pain Circuit  A study published in [Nature], a popular journal, gained the attention of a wider population. It stated that approximately 60 million Americans are living their life with chronic pain! Therefore, this work of neurologists is highly promising for the treatment of such patients. This research gained its support from the NeuroChoice initiative. The brain is a highly crucial commanding machine for the human body, as all the daily tasks  & decisions are…
