This chapter discusses the basic mechanisms of pain transmission and analgesia, and shows that hyperexcitability can be set up both peripherally and centrally. The latter means that minor peripheral inputs may cause severe pain. The impact of peripheral changes after nerve injury on systems at many levels of the central nervous system are discussed.Less

This chapter begins with a brief discussion of the notion of pain and how victims have a powerful tendency to respond by passing it along to someone else. In short: payback. The chapter then analyzes the pathways of social relationships that deal with the infectious transmission of pain—Retaliation, Revenge, and Redirected Aggression—citing examples such as the tale of Sweeney Todd, the tragedy of Bosnia, and the US invasion of Iraq.Less
