I wonder why some people have a pain response to emotional problems.

Kelli Kuramoto

I wonder if, pain immunization is genetic?

For example, if your mom is more immune to pain, then would you be more immune to pain too?

David Peters

I know that the brain sends motion signals to move your body away from the pain,

so why does it also need to make the experience painful?

Hailey Tsuda

I wonder if the pain was on the spine if then we would get the message of pain faster

Gavin Ryder

Why do some people feel pain on the outside when the pain is actually mental or emotional?

Maybe...

-General stress from the situation

-Depression

-Hallucinations

I wonder if it is possible to not do what your cortex tells you to do.

If you were born to not feel pain such as a broken leg, can you feel life-threatening injuries?

Wesley Shapiro

2014-09-25 19:00:21 UTC

Why do we feel different types of pain?

Sarah L.

2014-09-25 19:00:22 UTC

I wonder if, in the future, everyone will work faster when in pain,

because it is more efficient.

Saiyash Vishnubhatt

2014-09-25 19:00:26 UTC

I wonder why and how we feel different types of pain.

Emily Coad

2014-09-25 19:00:27 UTC

How does your brain tell the difference between the different types of pain?

Kaitlyn Hubbard

2014-09-25 19:00:27 UTC

We want to know if pain varies from person to person.

For Example:

A 40 year old to a 2 year old

A football player to a doctor

I thought it was interesting that some people respond differently to pain,

if you cut yourself, you either speed up or slow down

Dylan

2014-09-25 19:00:36 UTC

Why is pain different for everyone?

Jeremy Sanders

2014-09-25 19:00:47 UTC

If people do things faster when in pain, does that mean that if I set myself on fire I will do my homework faster?

Derek Murphy

2014-09-25 19:00:58 UTC

I don't believe that people are actually so good at ignoring pain that they can stand in a shark's mouth and read a book at the same time, all the while keeping a smile on their face. Might this come in the future, once our brains evolve more?

Olivia I.

2014-09-25 19:01:01 UTC

I wonder how some people do things faster while in pain.

Ninava Sharma

2014-09-25 19:01:05 UTC

I wonder why we don't acknowledge pain as a useful thing rather than a bad thing.

Alex Brett

2014-09-25 19:01:07 UTC

Why does sometimes pain can speed up a task

Gabriella Steele

2014-09-25 19:01:12 UTC

Some people are more sensitive to pain that others.

Alex Toeller

2014-09-25 19:01:22 UTC

How do some people do tasks to ignore pain I really don't see how that would work

Lauren <3

2014-09-25 19:01:29 UTC

some people have a big injury and don't feel it

TARDIS

2014-09-25 19:03:16 UTC

Some people have lots of pain for months after the pain should have stopped

Mrs. W

lwaxman — 2014-09-25 19:03:49 UTC

I wonder if our individual response to pain is similar to how we react to stress. Some people perform better & some fail.

Ninava Sharma

2014-09-25 19:04:27 UTC

I read something one time about how a person has trained himself to believe that it isn't hurting, and they don't feel the pain.

Andrew T.

2014-09-25 19:04:36 UTC

If everyone has different feelings of pain, are there people who can withstand many life threatening things?

2014-09-25 19:05:30 UTC

Why does rubbing in salt hurt so much?

Jared Krawitz

2014-09-25 21:04:50 UTC

Is the brain able to react to a sudden injury? Or does it not react in time and something bad happens

Gage R

2014-09-25 21:05:04 UTC

Why would someone work faster instead of acknowledging the pain if they are being shocked, etc.

Matteo Gobry

2014-09-25 21:05:14 UTC

Is it possible to a brain injury that affects your pain (you don't feel pain)

Daphne I.

2014-09-25 21:05:17 UTC

I wonder why people sometimes LIKE to experience pain?

Saila Khuntia

2014-09-25 21:05:22 UTC

How does pain help some people work faster and slow down other people down while doing tasks.

Nitin Kumar

2014-09-25 21:05:42 UTC

Can we train ourselves to deal with pain in different ways?

If we're all human, why would we respond differently?

Zach C

2014-09-25 21:05:45 UTC

How quick does pain process to your brain?

Matthew T

2014-09-25 21:06:06 UTC

Why does a large wound hurt more than a small wound?

Matteo Gobry (again)

2014-09-25 21:06:07 UTC

If you have a certain amount of pain

can it overload your pain sensors and

make you not feel the pain?

Julie Sheridan

2014-09-25 21:06:08 UTC

Why do different people respond to pain in different ways?

Sean Li

2014-09-25 21:06:16 UTC

If meditation or yoga helps us ignore

pain, then can we completely ignore pain?

Vincent Siu

2014-09-25 21:06:26 UTC

I found it interesting that pain has character.

Vivienne C.

2014-09-25 21:06:46 UTC

How is it possible that some of us work faster under pain?

Adam Hollingworth

Why does pain make you cry?

Collin McConnell

Why does it hurt more when you add lemon/citrus to a cut?

Gage R

Can you be dying and still not feel pain?

Paige Gambetta

2014-09-25 21:07:08 UTC

Why does pain not affect some people?

Gabriella Dominge

2014-09-25 21:07:32 UTC

Why does pain make some people work better and/or faster ?

Gage R

If you take medicine to relieve pain, what is going on?

Are

2014-09-25 21:07:50 UTC

Gage R

2014-09-25 21:08:08 UTC

If pain medicine is reliving pain, but it is still there, what will happen? And is that bad?

Evan

2014-09-25 21:08:17 UTC

Do some people react to some types of pain (such as fire) better than other types of pain (such as cuts)?

Nitin Kumar

2014-09-25 21:08:26 UTC

Aren't treatments designed to work on

all patients? Other people have the same

body structure, so shouldn't the same

treatments work?

Matteo Gobry (for the third time)

2014-09-25 21:08:44 UTC

Are there different types of pain that affects you more?

Abby Holleran

2014-09-25 21:09:01 UTC

If mental pain (like stress and illnesses) is genetic, is your responses to pain genetic too?

Awesome Guy

Vincent Siu

Could we be immune to pain in the future? Would that be a good thing?

Sean Li

2014-09-25 21:09:07 UTC

If we understand pain, then can

we make the technology to help us

become immune to pain?

Dylan Jee

How is it possible that people work faster when they are in pain?

Nakul Shenoy

2014-09-25 21:09:11 UTC

Do endorphins released into the brain

stop pain, so you can think clearly?

Alex Beattie

16beattiea — 2014-09-25 21:09:12 UTC

Why does pain continue after the event has

happened in certain situations like being burned or punched?

Because the whole concept of pain is to get you away from the

source of damage in the tissue.

Collin McConnell

2014-09-25 21:09:19 UTC

Why does pain have different character, as mentioned in the clip?

Gage R

2014-09-25 21:09:29 UTC

Do you get pain immune genes from you parents?

Yes, it's Matteo Again

2014-09-25 21:09:53 UTC

Can seeing pain influence your own

Gage R

2014-09-25 21:10:10 UTC

Or is is developed?

Gabriella Dominge

2014-09-25 21:10:20 UTC

Why do people have different levels of pain tolerance ?

Hi Peeps

Daphne I.

2014-09-25 21:10:53 UTC

If you were immune to pain, does that mean you can just easily stick your hand in (for example) fire or something? How does that work? Does pain not matter to them?...

Not

If you are so much in pain would it

be possible for you to not be able

to feel it at all?
