Basic Information
Anatomy of The Central and Peripheral Nervous System, Relevant To Transmission of Sensory Stimuli in General and Nociceptive Ones In Particular. Basic Theories of Nociceptive Stimuli Transmission (e.g. The Wall and Melzack Gate Control Theory of Pain). Clinical and Basic Science Pain Research Methodolgy Based On# Psychophysics, Neurophysiology, Imaging and Connectivity, Neurotransmitters, Genetics Biopsychosociology. Investigation of Healthy Vs. Pathological Cohorts. Learning Outcomes# The Students 1. Will Understand The Intergration Of Sensory and Cognitive Mechanisms in The Nervous System As Manifested In Pain Processing. 2. Will Acquire Tools For Evaluting Research Questions, Experimental Designs, Data Analysis and Interpretations Of Study Findings.
