The pain of rejection is more than mere metaphor. A team of scientists
have found that to the brain, a social snub is just like stubbing a
toe.
Brain scans carried out on volunteers showed that when they suffered a
social snub, the brain's "pain centre" went into overdrive. The
finding suggests that any emotional stress, such as the demise of a
relationship or the loss of a loved one, might be far more closely
linked to real pain than previously thought.
