a: The thalamus ~
b: a cat on a hot tin roof
What:
"If the injury is fairly significant and/or the individual lacks nutrients to assist healing, then ongoing pain signals are sent to the thalamus, provoking the release of higher-than-desired levels of substance P in the thalamus. In essence, the thalamus is like a cat on a hot tin roof-a problem driven by excessive substance P release. This is often accompanied by a wound-up and anxious, uncomfortable feeling."
