  2. Gate control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_control_theory

    Descending pathways also activate opioid receptor-containing parts of the spinal cord. [citation needed] Afferent pathways interfere with each other constructively, so that the brain can control the degree of pain that is perceived, based on which pain stimuli are to be ignored to pursue potential gains.

  3. Pain theories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_theories

    Descartes' pain pathway: "Particles of heat" (A) activate a spot of skin (B) attached by a fine thread (cc) to a valve in the brain (de) where this activity opens the valve, allowing the animal spirits to flow from a cavity (F) into the muscles causing them to flinch from the stimulus, turn the head and eyes toward the affected body part, and ...

  4. Cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholinergic_anti...

    The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway regulates the innate immune response to injury, pathogens, and tissue ischemia. It is the efferent, or motor arm of the inflammatory reflex , the neural circuit that responds to and regulates the inflammatory response.

  5. Spinothalamic tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinothalamic_tract

    The pathway crosses over at the level of the spinal cord, rather than in the brainstem like the dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway and lateral corticospinal tract. It is one of the three tracts which make up the anterolateral system : anterior and lateral spinothalamic tract, spinotectal tract , spinoreticular tract .

  6. Pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain

    Most pain resolves once the noxious stimulus is removed and the body has healed, but it may persist despite removal of the stimulus and apparent healing of the body. Sometimes pain arises in the absence of any detectable stimulus, damage or disease. [3] Pain is the most common reason for physician consultation in most developed countries.

  7. Referred pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referred_pain

    Referred pain, also called reflective pain, [1] is pain perceived at a location other than the site of the painful stimulus.An example is the case of angina pectoris brought on by a myocardial infarction (heart attack), where pain is often felt in the left side of neck, left shoulder, and back rather than in the thorax (chest), the site of the injury.

  8. Somatosensory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_system

    A somatosensory pathway will typically have three neurons: [18] first-order, second-order, and third-order. [ 19 ] The first-order neuron is a type of pseudounipolar neuron and always has its cell body in the dorsal root ganglion of the spinal nerve with a peripheral axon innervating touch mechanoreceptors and a central axon synapsing on the ...

    To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Nervous system physiology | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Nervous system physiology | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
