Answer:

spinal cord

Explanation:

In 1965 Melzack and Wall proposed the gate-control theory to explain the phenomena related to pain. This theory suggests the presence of a mechanism at the level of the central nervous system that opens or closes the pain pathways.

The transmission of afferent (sensitive) nerve impulses is modulated by a gate system, located in the posterior antlers of the spinal cord.
