"These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to avoid math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related career paths."
"We provide the first neural evidence indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety."
The researchers used 14 people with HMAs and 14 who had low levels of maths anxiety.
The subjects were then asked to complete word tasks and maths tasks.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social rejection or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feelings of physical pain.

科学家已经证实了学生们长期以来的猜测:数学问题真的会导致疼痛感。
研究人员发现,当遇到难解的数学问题时,产生的恐惧可能激活大脑中主管生理痛的区域。
一个人对数学题越焦虑,与感官威胁侦测有关的大脑区域就越活跃,感受到的疼痛就越剧烈。这项研究是由芝加哥大学的研究者伊恩-里昂和西恩-贝洛克做出的,研究结果发表在《公共科学图书馆—综合》杂志上。
但研究者表示,他们的研究考察了参与一项可引发焦虑的事情导致的疼痛反应,而不是可引发焦虑的事情本身导致的疼痛反应。
