Pain, Kinesthetic, and Vestibular Senses

Question 2 • Psychology A

Which of the following statements is not true about the ways in which our bodies are able to block pain?

Answer
A
The release of endorphins in the body assists in alleviating pain.
B
Specific neural activity can limit incoming pain signals, alleviating pain.
C
Information from other sensory systems can close the pain gate, alleviating pain.
D
A neural pathway found in the frontal lobe assists in alleviating pain.

Explanation

Endorphins can reduce pain, and activity from other nerves or sensory systems can help limit pain signals through the spinal cord’s pain gate. The best answer is “A neural pathway found in the frontal lobe assists in alleviating pain,” because the classic pain-gating mechanisms are not described as a neural pathway located in the frontal lobe.
