Is adrenaline the only pain-killing mechanism the brain has at its disposal?
What?
I just said it wasn't...
There's a whole bunch. Oxytocin, dopamine, really every endorphin is a painkiller.
I was just looking for clarification on how likely it is that adrenaline bears sole responsibility. Reading your earlier answers did not directly address this in a way I could understand. I think we've resolved it now though.
