Discovery of 'mini-brains' could change understanding of pain medication The study now suggests the transmission of information to the central nervous system must go through another set of gates, or more accurately a process similar to a volume control, where the flow of information can be controlled by the peripheral nervous system. "Peripheral nerves have the ability to dial up or down the signal which goes through these gates to the brain," said Professor Gamper. "Importantly, we believe that these gates can be exploited for therapeutic control of pain."
