Pain is not a mere reflection of noxious input. Rather, it is constructed through the dynamic integration of current predictions with incoming sensory input. However, the temporal dynamics of the behavioral and neural processes underpinning this integration remain elusive.

- The research investigates how the brain combines pain-related signals (cues and actual pain) to form the overall experience of pain.
- Using advanced imaging techniques, the study found that different brain networks store information from pain cues and stimuli in specific areas, but only certain networks can integrate this information to recreate the reported pain levels.
- This implies that the brain processes pain in a structured manner, with a focus on how various components work together to shape our perception of pain.
Psychological well-being and salivary markers of inflammation: The moderating effect of age.
Appl Psychol Health Well Being
May 2023
Increasing evidence suggests a significant impact of higher psychological well-being (PWB) on health outcomes; however, such associations have been studied exclusively in middle-aged to older adults. This study examined the aging effect on PWB measures as well as the moderating effect of age on the link between PWB and inflammation, using salivary markers by comparing the younger adults (n = 127; M = 22.98 years) versus older adults (n = 75; M = 75.
