The study of diverse animal groups allows us to discern the evolution of the neurobiology of nociception. Nociception functions as an important alarm system alerting the individual to potential and actual tissue damage. All animals possess nociceptors, and, in some animal groups, it has been demonstrated that there are consistent physiological mechanisms underpinning the nociceptive system. This review considers the comparative biology of nociception and pain from an evolutionary perspective.
对不同动物群体的研究使我们能够发现伤害感受的神经生物学进化。伤害感受作为一个重要的警报系统，提醒个体注意潜在和实际的组织损伤。所有动物都具有伤害感受器，并且在一些动物群体中，已经证明伤害感受系统有一致的生理机制作为支撑。本综述从进化角度考虑了伤害感受和疼痛的比较生物学。
