Pain asymbolia
(Redirected from
Pain dissociation
)Pain asymbolia, also called pain dissociation, is a condition in which
cingulate gyrus whose prime response to the pain perceived by insular cortex is to tether it with an agonizing emotional response thus signaling the individual of its propensity to inflict actual harm. However, a disconnect is not the only prime causative factor, as damage to these aforementioned cortical structures also results in the same symptomology.[1][2][3]
