Understanding Pain Perception

Pain begins with stimuli detected by nociceptors, which transmit signals to the brain, where the subjective experience of pain is formed. This experience varies for each individual, influenced by emotions and memories, challenging the outdated notion of a direct link between injury and pain. Chronic pain, often invisible, complicates this further, as people may struggle to understand each other's experiences, projecting their own pain onto others.
