Does Threat Enlarge Nociceptive Reflex Receptive Fields?

Pain modulation can increase survival. For example, during situations of possible threat, increased pain perception allows for early detection, and stronger reaction to, somatic danger 45, 52. Consistent with this, several studies have noted an increase in pain perception when anticipating an unpredictable threat 30, 76, 79.
