Health & Medicine June Issue: The Pain Gap

June 2019 Dear Reader, We're happy to present to you the third issue of Scientific American Health & Medicine. The cover story of this issue explores the latest findings around the differences in the way the sexes process pain. For years it was assumed that pain was processed the same way across all sexes, but scientists are discovering that different biological pathways can produce an “ouch!” As Amber Dance writes in “The Pain Gap,” the latest findings suggest that genetics, hormone levels and anatomical development may all be at work in how individuals experience pain. I hope you enjoy this exciting article!
