Does a broken heart hurt?

Submitted by adiflesher on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 9:30am.

The following is an article indicating that people physically feel emotional pain.  Apparently emotional pain triggers some of the same areas in the brain as physical pain.  It’s a very interesting article that clearly covers some of the same things that we discussed in class.  Its particularly interesting because the researchers actually test emotional pain brought on by social exclusion. I would be very interested to see the game that they developed to test this.
