While Thursday is Thanksgiving in the US, here, it's just Thursday.
But it means that I'll bring in a cranberry-caramel tart for the lab, because it's tradition. And it's the Thanksgiving dessert of my childhood.

❌ There is no "pain center" in the brain.
🧠 Rather, pain is a diffuse neurological process involving MANY brain sites, including PFC (attention), cerebral cortex (thoughts) + limbic system, critical parts of our emotion circuitry💥
📣 Pain is *both* physical and emotional ALWAYS 👏🏼
