Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perception of pain takes place in the somatosensory and limbic areas of the brain. While pain receptors and free nerve endings play a role in detecting and transmitting the sensation of pain, it is ultimately processed and interpreted by the brain in these areas. Neural gates are also involved in the perception of pain but are not the primary location where it takes place.
