Contemporary Approaches to the Study of Pain: From Molecules to Neural Networks

This volume contains experimental approaches that are currently  revolutionizing our understanding of the neurobiology of pain. The  chapters cover many cutting-edge methods including the identification of  gene expression profiles, transcriptomes or translatomes, from  individual cells or defined groups of cells in rodents and primates;   the electrophysiological investigation of human tissues, such as human  dorsal root ganglion neurons; ways to assess modality response profiles  of neurons using calcium imaging in vitro and in vivo; and somatosensory  behaviors in rodents using high-speed videography and machine learning.   In the Neuromethods series style, the chapters include detailed advice  from specialists to obtain successful results in your laboratory.

Cutting-edge  and comprehensive, Contemporary Approaches to the Study of Pain: From  Molecules to Neural Networks is a valuable resource for scientists and  researchers interested in making impactful contributions to our  understanding of pain.
