Men may tolerate pain better than women, but new research finds they’re more stressed when it comes to how they remember it.
A new report published this month in the journal Current Biology evaluated how male and female mice and humans perceived pain.
Researchers found that male humans and male mice both remember previous painful experiences clearly, but were more stressed and very sensitive to later pain when they returned to the location where the pain occurred.
Women and female mice, on the other hand, didn’t seem to be as stressed.
Why is studying pain important? Researchers can figure out if a memory of pain is a driving factor of chronic pain.
By identifying this, they may be able to help treat what causes people to remember pain.
