Which statement is related to gate control theory?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DGate control theory suggests that pain signals are not free to reach the brain as soon as they are generated at the injured tissues or sites. Instead, they need to pass through "gates" in the spinal cord that can be closed or opened to control the intensity of pain. Statement C is correct because, according to the gate control theory, pain perception involves signals traveling to the brain (where pain is perceived) and signals from the brain that can modulate or alter the perception of pain, essentially suggesting a bidirectional flow of information. Statement D is correct because the theory posits that the interneuron, which acts as a gate in the spinal cord, can be influenced by descending nerve tracts from the brain, which can modulate or alter the perception of pain by "closing" or "opening" the gate.
