In this course, the mechanisms, physiology and pathology of pain are investigated. The course examines the way in which pain signals are coded and processed in the nervous system and focuses on the study of inflammation, neuronal plasticity development, nociceptors, molecular identity, signaling mechanisms, and ionic channels that are involved in the generation, modulation and propagation of action potential in all types of excitable cells.
