The body is a rich, marvellous and complex network 🕸 of connections where several subsystems are intra and inter connected. If you switch off the alarm and you go back to sleep, your house may be completely destroyed tomorrow. One of the saddest demonstration of the non-locality of pain is phantom-limb pain: A person has pain and itchy sensations from a leg that is no longer there. The leg fully exists as pain source, but the brain itself does not feel pain. Where is phantom limb pain actually located? 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐦 🚨𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 🔥.
