<translate>This would already be enough to bring now our attention on an extraordinarily explanatory phenomenon called</translate> ''<translate>Gate Control</translate>''. <translate>If a child gets hit in the leg while playing soccer, in addition to crying, the first thing he does is to rub extensively the painful area so that the pain decreases. The child does not know the ‘Gate Control’, but unconsciously activates an action that, by stimulating the tactile receptors, closes the gate at the entrance of the nociceptive input of the C fibres, consequently decreasing the pain; the phenomenon was discovered only in 1965 by Ronald Melzack and Patrick Wall</translate><ref>{{cita libro

As much as in computers, encryption-decryption also takes place in biology. In fact, in a recent research the authors examined the influence of molecular mechanisms of the ‘long-term potentiation’ (LTP) phenomenon in the hippocampus on the functional importance of synaptic plasticity for storage of information and the development of neuronal connectivity. It is not yet clear if the activity modifies the strength of the single synapses in a digital ('''01''', all or nothing) or analog (graduated) way. In the study it emerges that individual synapses appear to have an 'all or nothing' enhancement, indicative of highly cooperative processes, but different thresholds for undergoing enhancement. These findings raise the possibility that some forms of synaptic memory may be digitally stored in the brain<ref>{{cite book
