More About This Title Novartis Foundation Symposium 261 - PathologicalPain - From Molecular to Clinical Aspects

  • English

English

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.
