@instituteofhumananatomy: 🧠 You jam your finger — and in milliseconds, your entire brain gets involved. Here's what's actually happening. Specialized pain receptors called nociceptors fire instantly, sending signals through sensory neurons → up the spinal cord → to the thalamus (your brain's relay station) → then to the somatosensory cortex in the parietal lobe. That's the moment you consciously feel pain. 😬 But simultaneously, the thalamus also sends signals to the amygdala — your emotional processing center. That's why pain isn't purely physical. It carries an emotional charge too. (And explains the very colorful language that tends to follow a jammed finger.) 😅 But here's the remarkable part: your brain immediately fires back down the spinal cord through the descending pain pathway. The brainstem's periaqueductal gray activates circuits that release your body's own natural painkillers — endogenous opioids — that dial down how strongly those pain signals travel back up to the brain. Your body is already trying to help before you even reach for the ibuprofen. 🔬 Follow for more anatomical awesomeness! #tiktoklearningcampaign #anatomy #humananatomy #pain #neuroscience #nociceptors #thalamus #amygdala #endorphins #brainfacts #spinalcord #physiology #anatomyandphysiology #medschool #premed #learnontiktok

Does it always go to the brain..? 😕

Csák nimród csaba :

what if those parts js never existed...

buhnii :

so how does adrenaline block the pain? does it just take it’s place and not allow as much pain receptors to be hit? dunno.

AMG :

is it possible to control this part of the brain like telling the brain on or off etc

Living a healthy life without health issues is something we humans should all pray for. This is a short story about my journey to overcome a deadly virus called herpes. Honestly, I had tried many medications, but none helped me. Fortunately, I came across someone who spoke about an African herbalist doctor named Dr. Balogun and how he cured her of herpes, as well as other health issues. I had some doubts because I had already tried so many treatments that didn't work, but I decided to give it a chance since it was a herbal remedy. I considered the fact that herbal treatments differ from traditional medical drugs, and eventually, everything worked out perfectly. I am now herpes-free, and I will be forever grateful to🌿🌿@DOCTOR BALOGUN 😳😳
