Résumé

La mémoire de la douleur est expliquée par des bases biologiques variées, et les interactions entre ces deux entités sont multiples. Les travaux de recherche dans ce domaine portent sur la dichotomie entre mémoire explicite et implicite, sur le stockage différentiel d’événements douloureux somatiques et émotionnels, sur l’amnésie globale induite par une douleur aiguë et sur la réexpérience de la douleur en l’absence de nouvelles stimulations périphériques.

Abstract

Biological bases of the memory of pain are numerous as are the interactions between these two entities. Research focuses on the dichotomy between explicit and implicit memory, on the differentiated storage of somatic and emotional events, on the global amnesia induced by acute pain and on the re-experience of pain without somatic injury.
