Contemporary Approaches to the Study of Pain
From Molecules to Neural Networks
Samenvatting
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.
