An international study showed that those who suffer from love sickness or suffered a recent breakup may also feel physical pain. The authors argue that this is because the same regions of the brain that are activated when they are ailments in the body so do after being rejected by a loved one.
The work belongs to scientists from the University of Michigan, who recruited 40 people who had completed their romantic relationships in the second half. All volunteers reported that their respective separations were made to feel rejection and pain.
Participants underwent an MRI scanner in different situations: on the one hand while viewing pictures of their former partners and recalled the feeling of when they were abandoned; while they are looking at photos of a friend and reminisced good times; and finally when they had a device in his arm which caused them a tolerable pain. They then compared the results with 500 images of the brain's response to other people who suffered from physical ailments or other psychological problems.
"The intense experience of being rejected socially active the same regions of the brain involved in feeling physical pain," said Ethan Kross, a leader of the trial and then add the body, the mind and the brain are closely related. Finally, he said that the finding "may offer insights to study many types of diseases and disorders arising from emotional crisis, such as rejection and breakups."
