Pain and the Conscious Brain

Luis Garcia-Larrea

May 2016 / Softbound / 7" x 10" / 240 pp. / 10 Tables

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.
