The neuroscientist did a study in order to tell whether children will feel the pain differently if told how it will hurt.

Kalina Michalska, a developmental neuroscientist at the University of California, Riverside said "We know that expectation affects pain experience in adults. Getting told the shot might hurt a bit could actually make the pain worse. But we don’t really know whether this is also true for children." She thus led a study to find out.

Southeastern United States was stricken by an intense snowstorm on Monday. School districts across North and South Carolina and Virginia canceled classes for the day and emergency officials warned that heavy snow and icy roads were slowing their responses to problems such as hundreds of stranded motorists.
