No brain, no pain

Journal/Book: Behav Brain Sci. 1997; 20: 40 West 20TH Street, New York, NY 10011-4211. Cambridge Univ Press. 486.

Abstract: The theme of my target article was dysfunction of inhibition in the spinal cord as an important factor in the development of chronic pain states. Some commentaries focused on the role of more central mechanisms and the limited usefulness of animal models for understanding mechanisms of human pain. More specific comments concerned the roles of GABA and cholecystokinin in pain control.
