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
