It also regulates body temperature, and a process to detect a violation and correct the problem that happens in our tissues. It must be able to alter it for emergencies or any special circumstances.

Others are reading my work that are on the first few pages, and I feel that the other pages are worth a read every now and again. You know what I do I go and read my own stuff.

This is the concluding article of the series of articles that dealt with the brain and pain. We will pick up exactly where I left off from the last article. There is an idea known as Chronic pain syndrome that individuals experience chronic pain and are disabled by this pain. Persistent pain for they are constantly flinching due to these feelings. There is a place that called a 'Chronic Pain Clinic' that uses a behavioral approach and makes the person feel isolated from the family and resources for this 'clinic' removes the enablers from the patient. People will self medicate themselves for chronic pain and this could excerberate (make worse) the pain they feel. You must understand the reasons for taking the medicines for the pain. One must 'detox' or reduce the medicines to the lowest possible levels and increase activity that changes the attention where the pain is not felt as much or not at all. Relaxation does help to keep the pain away. We will make a behavioral schema that changes the focus from the pain to what's around the patient.

This is a continuation of the previous article on the brain and opiates. There is a family of what are known as endorphins and in the area of the brain there is the diencephalon that is strong along with groups of chemicals that are available to reduce the amount of pain experienced. There modest to extreme pain thanks to the transmitters that are non-opiate pain regulators that have not been traced yet. The Gate control regulating and controlling the pain signals. Opiates regulate the amount of pain itself then goes to the brain and is processed in a lot of ways like for sensory discriminatory ways, motivational ways, as well as affective, cognitive and evaluative ways all at the same time. These types of discriminations that can locate the pain in the somatosensory part of the brain.

What is pain? To start with here are some kinds of pain that we all feel from time to time. Acute pain like feeling acute soreness. Chronic pain when we feel pain all the time. There is what is known as Pain sensitivity that means the loss of normal functioning due to chronic pain. Then there is what we all know as headaches from stress and tension to migraines to sinus. There are presenting items that help us to discuss and describe these kinds of pain and the problems that they cause. The theory of the pain: 1. can it be associated with some kind of damage that is observed somehow. 2. There is damage that occurs without pain or pain can occur without damage. 3. Huge damage can produce a kind of euphoria like some feel in Battlefield problems or in the triage area or even in the ER and the kind of life these people live. 4. There is severe pain where damage and euphoria work together.

This is a continuation of the previous article that ended with the description of the ear. This part will finish with the auditory system and move into more about the brain. The mechanical effects of the ear takes the sound and transduces and sorted out to action potentials to the sound at the cochlea. There is a pull tone that is 256 Htz. The cochlea takes care of the conductive volume decreasing to the end that is thick at one end, and loose and thin at the other end. The frequencies are sorted out spatially and vibrate at the far end, and the smaller the cochlea the higher the frequency transduction begins when the frequency of the assorted shapes.
