Mini Episode: Neuroscience of Pain

We all know how it feels to be in pain. But WHERE you experience it may surprise you!

In the Neuroscience of Pain, we'll explore how our brains process pain signals, how that process varies with different types of pain, and what you can do with this new knowledge to prepare and work through pain in the future.

As mentioned at the beginning of this episode, we've also started a Patreon! We genuinely love sharing these brain-blowing facts and stories with you every month, and if you're enjoying it and would like to contribute (while getting some awesome Patreon perks in the process), head to ⁠www.patreon.com/brainblownpodcast⁠ to learn about our offers!
