Description
This book brings together contributions from key investigators in the area of pathological pain. It covers the molecular basis of receptors and channels involved in nociception, the possible messages that cause neuropathic plasticity, spinal plasticity in neuropathy, plastic changes in opioid systems in neuropathy and opioid tolerance, and plastic changes related to pathological pain.
Reviews / Votes
"...an excellent book to review the electrophysiological and molecular aspects of pathological pain...can be of great value to both basic scientists and clinicians." (Annals of Neurology, August 2005)More details
