Endorphins are brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters which are released when the body feels a certain amount of stress and pain. Endorphins alter the communication of pain in the body by interacting with the opiate receptors and blocking the synapse so that signals cannot be sent to the brain in order to reduce an individual perception of pain.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Changes in gene expression

Explanation:

This phenomenon is the result of changes in gene expression. That means, how the information in the DNA is used by the cell. The genes that are active in the cells of the brain will be very different from the genes that are active in the cells of the bone marrow.

These patterns of gene expression are different for each cell, and dictate the identity of that cell. Gene expression patterns are controlled by a variety of factors in the cell that allow tissue-specific expression, such a transcription factors.

This can also be facilitated by another layer of regulation called epigenetics, which literally means "on top of" genetics, and refers to modifications of DNA (and the proteins around it), that can reflect and influence the activity of the genes within.
