Description
One of the Most Rapidly Advancing Fields in Modern Neuroscience The success of molecular biology and the new tools derived from molecular genetics have revolutionized pain research and its translation to therapeutic effectiveness. Bringing together recent advances in modern neuroscience regarding genetic studies in mice and humans and the practical
Reviews / Votes
As the editors of Translational Pain Research: From Mouse to Man state in their preface, "the study of pain is of enormous human importance for the obvious reason that in the course of a lifetime, few individuals manage to evade disruption of their lives by consequential pain experiences." The book is a comprehensive survey of recent pain research that attempts to bring basic science closer to the bedside. The primary intended audience of the book is academic and pharmaceutical industry researchers. Laboratory animal veterinarians and research technicians will also find it a useful reference...In conclusion, Translational Pain Research is a comprehensive review of current research in an area of vital interest to laboratory animal professionals responsible for programs in experimental pain research. The book is highly technical but a non-specialist would find it difficult, but ultimately rewarding.--Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, September 2010
