In both human and animal subject, bursts of beta wave activity in the brain help to filter distraction in order to process different sensations, a new study reports. What does this mean? When we are busy focusing or doing some focused task, we cannot feel some other sensation including pain. So I experimented on childbirth pain issue by focusing on the baby coming out of the birth canal and when my focus is off, I can feel more pain.

Now, new research from the Salk Institute shows how a protein called p75 is critical for pain signaling, which could one day have implications for treating neurological disorders as well as trauma such as spinal cord injury.
