How does this theory relate to pain? ¢ Explains why each person interprets painful stimuli differently. ¢ Explains why hot/cold and electrical stimulation can provide pain relief. 1. Small Nerve Fibers conduct pain stimuli toward the brain. 2. Large Nerve Fibers inhibit transmission of pain impulses from the spine to the brain by sending nonpain impulses. 3. A “gate” in the spinal cord with these nerves determines which impulses reach the brain. 4. The “gate” limits the amount of sensory info that can be processed at one time, therefore cells in the spine “close the gate” when excess info is sent through. 5. The brain contributes by interpreting past experiences to influence how the “gate” works and regulating behavioral responses to pain.
