Android Wallpaper Painful Heart

Android Wallpaper Painful Heart

Research has shown that a broken heart hurts in the same way as 

pangs of intense physical pain. A 2011 study demonstrated that the 

same regions of the brain that become active in response to painful 

sensory experiences are activated during intense experiences of 

social rejection, or social loss generally. "These results give new 

meaning to the idea that social rejection 'hurts'," said University 

of Michigan social psychologist Ethan Kross, lead author of the 

article. The Michigan research implicates the secondary 

somatosensory cortex and the dorsal posterior insula. Macdonald and 

Leary had earlier  proposed the evolution of common mechanisms 

for both physical and emotional pain responses, and noted that 

multiple languages and cultures use terms like "hurt", "heartbreak", 

"hurt heart" or "ripped out my heart" to describe responses to 

social exclusion and argue that such expressions are "more than just 

a metaphor".
