🎛️ Bi-Directional Modulation: Descending Central Control
The theory suggests the spinal cord contains a neurological "gate" that either blocks or allows pain signals to pass to the brain. The "Gate" Mechanism: Located in the substantia gelatinosa of the dorsal horn. Small Nerve Fibers: Carry pain signals (nociception); they Large Nerve Fibers: Carry touch/vibration signals; they The Result: pain gate ddsc 018
Clinical studies mapping neural responses to Schema 018 waveforms demonstrate secondary activation in the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM). This activation triggers a descending inhibitory response, sending endogenous opioids down the spinal cord to suppress pain signaling from above. 3.
