Abstract
Daemons “that inhabit the human breast” are not usually some evil creatures out to do us harm. More often they are figures once loved, now lost. Such loss is felt deeply in one’s soul and in one’s brain. Specifically the pain of loss is felt in those same parts of the brain where the pain of ongoing tissue damage is felt. Evolution made little distinction between the loss of love and chronic inflammation. They both lead to the same response from the anterior cingulate cortex—pain.
