Understanding the Moderators of Physical and Emotional Pain: A Neural Systems-Based Approach
Abstract
Zhou and Gao (this issue) put forth an interesting hypothesis, namely, that money, in addition to social support, can reduce the experience of physical pain. Their hypothesis is based on the premis...

A network of brain regions that support the affective but not the sensory components of physical pain underlies both social rejection and physical pain.
“The consensus that has emerged is that a network of brain regions that support the aversive quality of physical pain (the ' affective ' component), principally the dorsal anterior cingulate (dACC) and anterior insula (AI), also underlie the feeling of social rejection.”
From Social rejection shares somatosensory representations with physical pain (2011) · cites this paper as [2]
Current theorizing suggests that the brain systems underlying social rejection developed by coopting brain circuits that support the affective component of physical pain.
“Current theorizing suggests that the brain systems that underlie social rejection developed by coopting brain circuits that support the affective component of physical pain (1, 2, 9).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
