Reply to Iannetti and Mouraux: What functional MRI responses to physical pain tell us about why social rejection “hurts”

In one sentence. Replied to a critique of their social-rejection/pain overlap study, arguing from their prior meta-analysis of over 500 studies that operculo-insular activation reflects pain-specific processing rather than general stimulus salience.
