science Pain is an inevitable part of existence,
but severe debilitating or chronic pain is a
pathological condition that diminishes the
quality of life. The Brain and Pain explores the
present and future of pain management, providing
a comprehensive understanding based on the latest
discoveries from many branches of
neuroscience.Richard Ambronthe former director of
a neuroscience lab that conducted leading
research in this fieldexplains the science of how
and why we feel pain. He describes how the
nervous system and brain process information that
leads to the experience of pain, detailing the
cellular and molecular functions that are
responsible for the initial perceptions of an
injury. He discusses how pharmacological agents
such as opiates affect the duration and intensity
of pain. Ambron examines new evidence showing
that discrete circuits in the brain modulate the
experience of pain in response to a placebo,
fear, anxiety, belief, or other circumstances, as
well as how pain can be relieved by activating
these circuits using mindfulness training and
other nonpharmacological treatments. The book
also evaluates the prospects of procedures such
as deep brain stimulation and optogenetics.Current
and thorough, The Brain and Pain will be
invaluable for a range of people seeking to
understand their options for treatment as well as
students in neuroscience and medicine.The book is
published by Columbia University Press. The
audiobook is published by University Press
Audiobooks.
