What is the step where where you become aware to the pain
Perception
What type of neurotransmitter have to transmit pain from peripheral to higher brain

Substance P
What type of neurotransmitter deals with inhibiting pain transmission
Serotonin
How can you increase Serotonin
Relaxation techniques
What type of neurotransmitter increases sensitivity to pain
Prostaglandins
What type of neurotransmitter increases pain stimuli
Bradykinin
Where is Bradykinin released?
At tissue injury
What do neuromodulators do
Prevent transmission of pain and produce analgesic effect
The idea that physical pain is not a direct result of activation of pain receptor neurons, but rather its perception is modulated by interaction between different neurons.
