This volume examines the neural mechanisms of nociception and pain. Neurochemical mechanisms have been illuminated by the new techniques of immunocytochemistry and the explosion of knowledge of the neuropeptides. These developments in basic knowledge are reviewed in accounts of nociceptive systems in trigeminal, visceral, thalamic and cerebral cortex. The book concludes with an account of mechanisms of endogenous antinociception.
