    Atkinson Pain Research Laboratory, Barrow Neurological Institute, 350 West Thomas Road, Phoenix, AZ 85013, USA

    These findings indicate that the

    human feeling of pain is both a distinct sensation and a

    motivation – that is, a specific emotion that reflects

    homeostatic behavioral drive, similar to temperature,

    itch, hunger and thirst.

    Homeostasis, as elucidated by Cannon [6], is a dynamic

    and ongoing process comprising many integrated mechanisms

    that maintain an optimal balance in the physiological

    condition of the body, for the purpose of survival. In

    mammals, these include autonomic, neuroendocrine and

    behavioral mechanisms. Homeostasis is commonly

    regarded as maintaining salt, energy, oxygen and water

    levels, but Cannon recognized that a change in any one

    condition usually affects several measures and elicits

    integrated, hierarchically organized homeostatic

    responses that restore an optimal balance. Changes in

    the mechanical, thermal and chemical status of the tissues

    of the body – stimuli that can cause pain – are important

    first of all for the homeostatic maintenance of the body.

    It is particularly instructive to compare the homeostatic

    function of thermoregulation with pain for two reasons.

    First, it has long been known that pain and temperature

    are processed together in the mammalian CNS, even

    though the basis – their underlying commonality as

    aspects of homeostasis – has only recently been recognized.

    Second, like pain, innocuous temperature sensation

    (e.g. cool or warm) has traditionally been considered a

    discriminative and exteroceptive capacity: we typically

    project thermal sensations to the object we are touching or

    to the environment, even though it is really changes in the

    temperature of the skin (and the body core) that are

    reported by thermosensory afferents [7]. Nevertheless,

    non-painful thermal stimuli inherently produce an affective

    motivation, a ‘feeling’ of pleasantness or unpleasantness

    that depends on physiological context, and they

    generate reflexive autonomic adjustments. These aspects

    directly signify the homeostatic role of temperature

    sensation.

    In fact, the regulatory function of thermal sensibility is

    its primordial role. All animals thermoregulate. Amoeba,

    gastropods, fish and lizards all rely on metabolic and

    behavioral thermoregulatory mechanisms. Homeothermic

    mammals additionally regulate body temperature by

    modulating autonomic (cardiorespiratory) activity, which

    differentially controls blood flow to the thermal core and

    shell (the skin) [8,9]. Yet thermoregulation in mammals,

    including humans, necessarily still includes behavioral

    mechanisms; we not only use clothing, build fires and

    migrate to temperate climes, but also are motivated to

    respond behaviorally to immediate changes in the tem-

    Homeostatic emotions drive behavior

    The affect (i.e. pleasantness or unpleasantness) we feel

    with an innocuous thermal cutaneous stimulus is the

    perceptual correlate of thermoregulatory motivation.

    Think of the discomfort you feel in a room that is too

    warm or too chilly for energy-efficient thermoneutrality: if

    you remain in that room, the discomfort grows until it

    becomes an intractable motivation – even though it is not

    ‘painful’, you must respond if you are to survive. The

    homeostatic role of thermosensory affect is elegantly

    demonstrated by its inversion under the opposing conditions

    of hyperthermia or hypothermia [10,11]. So, a cool

    glass feels wonderful if your body is hot, but it feels

    gnawingly unpleasant if you are chilled. The primordial

    thermoregulatory drive, and the motivational affect we

    perceive, is based on the needs of the body and drives

    appropriate homeostatic behavior. In the same way, eating

    salt or sugar is pleasant (and, thus, motivated) if the body

    needs it but is unpleasant if it does not (so-called stimulusspecific

    satiety [12]). Homeostatic afferents generate both

    a sensation and an affective motivation with autonomic

    sequelae – that is, a feeling from the body that motivates

    behavior.

    Pain is a homeostatic emotion

    The basic homeostatic ‘feelings’, or modalities, include

    temperature, itch, visceral distension, muscle ache,

    hunger, thirst, ‘air hunger’ and sensual touch. All of

    these inherently generate an emotion that drives homeostatic

    behavior, and pain is no different. Pain normally

    originates from a physiological condition in the body that

    automatic (subconscious) homeostatic systems alone cannot

    rectify, and it comprises a sensation and a behavioral

    drive with reflexive autonomic adjustments. Pain can be

    either unpleasant (as usual) or pleasant (as whe
