Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent studies have shown that some individuals may possess "gate-control" mechanisms within the spinal cord that can block pain signals. These individuals tend to have higher pain thresholds and are less sensitive to pain stimuli. However, not all individuals have this mechanism, leading to variations in pain sensitivity across different people.
