Neurobiological Basic of Pain and Analgesia
Of the billions of
neurons in the brain, how can the few responding to injury pain (such
as a tooth ache or dental extraction) be identified for further study.
One way is to use labled antibodies to localize cells stimulated after
injury. This approach can also improves the quality of information obtained
when using other techniques such as electrophysiology or osmotic exchange
sampling for neurotransmitters.
