“How does the brain naturally control pain? And how can we target these systems with treatments?” How does the brain receive pain? The brain receives pain through nociceptive stimuli which activates pain receptors on neurons called nociceptors. Nociceptors can be placed into two categories: A-delta (Aδ) fibres and C-fibres. A-delta fibres are small‚ myelinated‚ neurons that transmit signals fast and mediate sharp pain. C-fibres are smaller unmyelinated neurons that slowly transmit signals. They
