Abstract:

Parts of the nervous system are dedicated to transmit and process pain-related information in order to protect the body from potentially harmful stimuli. Virtually all state-of-the-art technologies of modern life sciences are presently employed in pain research. Nociceptive afferents can be stimulated selectively and nociceptive output parameters can be assessed quantitatively with high precision. By virtue of its nature, pain research creates an interdisciplinary link between neurobiologists, psychologists, physiologists and pain therapists, to name but a few examples.
