Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the role of each term in the context of pain transmission in the brain.
Understand that endorphins are neurotransmitters that can inhibit pain signals by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, reducing the perception of pain.
Recognize that Substance P is a neuropeptide involved in transmitting pain signals to the brain, thus it does not inhibit pain.
Clarify that synesthesia is a condition where one sensory experience is involuntarily linked to another, unrelated to pain transmission.
Explain that kinesthesia refers to the sense of movement and body position, which is not directly related to pain signal transmission.
