978-1-4963-3362-9
DESCRIPTION
Pain and the Conscious Brain
brings together more than 30 international leaders
from multiple fields to link the complex concept of pain to the equally complex
notion of consciousness. Offering a clear, cutting-edge understanding of the
brain mechanisms that generate the conscious experience of pain, this book
scientifically addresses the difficult and chronic pains that often have no known
physical cause and can defy comprehension in terms of current pain theories.
Numerous tables, full-color figures, and up-to-date references highlight expert
coverage of today’s gradual paradigm shift from peripheral receptors to the
intricacy of the brain and the experience of the self.
