When love ends, it always ends bad! Unfortunately, men or women, adults or adolescents, we all experience sooner or later the pain you feel when you leave or even worse, betrayed by the person you love. Sometimes you face the end of a story with more courage, sometimes you feel lost, but tears, sleepless nights to figure out how to regain the former and the stomach closed, are more or less constant practice! But exactly how much it hurts to lose a loved one? If you have wondered scientists at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, who wanted an MRI to quantify the psychological pain resulting from the pains of love and relationship troubles.
Ethan Kross and his team had to conduct some curious experiments on a sample of people who in spite of themselves had recently experienced the end of a story and who have undergone the innovative scientific study. Through some psychological tests, volunteers had to answer some questions about their ex-partners and even see photos with happy moments of their history is now over.
Soon after they were scalded with literally a few cups of boiling water to study the physical responses to these different stresses. All this has naturally resulted in apparently different reactions, namely in the first case in the second case of sadness and pain. However, using magnetic resonance imaging, scientists have been able to show a similar response by the body that has suffered equally in the two phases of the experiment.
The results of this research is thus found that the secondary somatosensory cortex el'insula dorsal posterior damage to the physical pain of a burn from contact, when they are forced to relive the pain of abandonment of love. Until now, in fact, the secondary somatosensory cortex dorsal el'insula back had been examined only from a physical point of view and is the first time he has established a correlation between this area of the brain and emotions.
The studies were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, will be subject to further investigations that can more accurately quantify the various physical responses resulting from the end of a relationship. What do you think, even if they hurt the same way: better to get burned by a cup of hot chocolate too much or find that our partner does not love us anymore?
