When a person is lonely or rejected, activated the same sections of the brain responsible for pain.

Surely everyone can remember the fact of his life when subjected to humiliation or betrayal. And each time the body pierced the pain and gave herself to every corner. By the way, some people can really get sick from the transferred experiences. If you look at the emotional pain is real, then everyone is aware that external factors of such pain is simply not available.

Not so long ago rejected the official medicine of the fact that there is the ephemeral nature of the soul and the words, as evidenced by the many scientific postulates. However, after learning the results of recent studies the number of skeptical people, who believed that the soul can not hurt, visibly diminished.

Conducted by scientists from the University of Michigan study showed that the human brain reacts the same way as physical pain and emotional on. It would seem so different types of pain as a soul or that which caused the blow to the body, can not have any in common. But as it turned out, in both cases in the human brain activated by two zones, one of which is the secondary somatosensory, and the second is the heat of the insula cortex.

The study involved 40 people of different age groups, which at the time of the experiment were able to experience due to non-existing relations with loved ones, and thus had the strongest emotional distress.

In the first phase of the study suggested that these people treat photos of loved ones, and that there was separation, for various reasons, and asked to recall the most exciting moments of relations. Special devices were fixed at these people, the same pain.

During the experiment, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain activity of subjects was kept under control.

Ethan Kross, a social psychologist, based on the results of the study concluded that in the human brain as a result of emotional pain are activated the same regions that respond to physical pain.
