The view continued how pain is created in the brain in 1965, when neuroscientist Ronald Mezack (a Canadian who studied phantom limbs and pain) and Patrick Will (an Englishman who studied pain and plasticity) wrote the most important article in the history of pain. Wall and Melach’s theory assisted that the pain system is spread throughout the brain and spinal cord, and far from being a passive recipient of pain, the brain always controls the pain signals we feel.
I’m a sucker for Descartes, his philosophy really can apply to all of us. He was the one who said “cogito ergo sum” which means “I think therefore I am” which basically means I exist because my brain in thinking.
