Quote from A.D. Craig:
Many areas of the brain are involved in the experience of pain. These areas have been thought to form a distributed pain-processing ‘neuromatrix‘ centred on the portions of the cerebral cortex related to the sense of touch. However, a new view suggests that specific pain centres exist, which have evolved from a primitive system of the brain that controls the health of the body, or body physiology. The overlap between these areas and emotion-processing regions of the brain could explain the peculiarly human subjective qualities of pain.

So, emotional pain, and physicial pain goes on in roughly the same regions of the brain.

So, love really does hurt.

The Brain in pain is mainly the same.

Looks like it’s not illegal to imbibe in Absinthe anymore in the US at least in the near future.

It’s highly concentrated alcohol, with a smattering of thujone, it was once banned in most states for it’s hallucinagenic and psychotic properties.

Now hurry up and Google thujone!

I’ll wait

I prefer  to Wiki:

For many years thujone was thought to act on the cannabinoid receptors similar to THC based on studies that only looked at the molecules’ shapes.^[1] This is known to be false today and studies show thujone does not activate these receptors.^[2] Thujone is a GABA_A receptor antagonist.^[3] By inhibiting GABA receptor activation neurons may fire more easily which can cause muscle spasms and convulsions.^[4]

In conclusion: use with care (O..o)
