VISCERAL AFFERENT PATHWAYS AND FUNCTIONAL BRAIN IMAGING

Visceral Afferent Pathways and Functional Brain Imaging

The application of functional imaging to study painful sensations has generated considerable interest regarding insight into brain dysfunction that may be responsible for functional pain such as that suffered in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).This review provides a brief introduction to the development of brain science as it relates t
