Pain: Differences in Brain Anatomy and Pain and Temperature Perception
May 14, 2012

Every person perceives pain and temperature differently. But why this happens has yet to be fully explained. Studies have shown that differences between individuals in perceiving pain caused by heat are linked to variations in neurophysiology. TWRI Senior Scientist Dr. Karen Davis, together with her trainees Dr. Nathalie Erpelding and Massieh Moayedi, have expanded this concept by investigating the relationship between pain and temperature sensitivity and the thickness of grey matter—tissue in the brain that contains neurons related to sensory,  motor and cognitive information—in different regions of the brain associated with perception of these sensations.
