Elsevier - The Polymodal Receptor - Progress in Brain Research

Explore the latest advancements in neurophysiology with The Polymodal Receptor - A Gateway to Pathological Pain (Volume 113). Part of the Progress in Brain Research series, this volume serves as a tribute to the career of Professor Takao Kumazawa of Nagoya University. It brings together research from global investigators to honor his lifetime achievements in the field. This collection examines how modern molecular biology impacts our understanding of polymodal receptors. Readers will find detailed studies and reviews focused on sensory mechanisms, specifically those related to deep or visceral sensing. By connecting contemporary molecular findings with foundational neurophysiological principles, this volume provides a comprehensive look at how these receptors function within the human body. Whether you are a researcher, medical professional, or student, this volume offers a deep look into the mechanisms of pain and sensation. It bridges the gap between simple modal systems and complex pathological processes, making it a valuable addition to any medical or neurological library.
