As living condition has been shown to affect rates of neurogenesis, the current study was designed to examine the relationship between neurogenesis and pain behavior, particularly stress-induced analgesia (SIA) and tonic ...
Pain sensitivity in 52 college male and female athletes and non-athletes was assessed at baseline and then after exercise and competition while workload was held constant. Subjects pedaled on a stationary bike for 20 minutes ...
In humans, social and physical pain are believed to arise from common neural networks, an evolutionarily advantageous system for motivating prosocial behavior. As such, the hypothesis that social insult can sensitize ...
This study explored the effects that anticipatory stress before athletic competition may have on human pain perception. Soccer and basketball players were tested for pain thresholds, salivary cortisol concentrations, as ...
Athletic competition elicits a stress response that is both physical and psychological in nature. Additionally, following athletic competition, an increase in pain threshold (analgesia) has been observed. However, the ...
Participating in a competitive athletic event, for example a routine practice or game, can produce anticipatory elevations in cortisol and pain threshold in male and female college athletes (basketball and soccer players). ...
Pain displays and the subsequent responses of observers in reaction to these behaviors are just starting to be researched in many species. However, the mechanisms and conditions regulating social approach towards another ...
The present study examined the effects of two social groups (romantic partners and best friends) on pain perception. Subjects underwent baseline and experimental pain testing days with the same procedure except subjects ...
Social pain, caused by ostracism, has been linked to physical pain through behavioral and neuroimaging studies, and the present study
extended the research on this link by examining the effect of ostracism on pain in ...
