Description
There are a number of problems yet to be solved within the domain of pain research. The above mentioned symposium focussed on these problems, paying particular attention to the neural mechanisms involved in processing and inhibition of nociceptive information. Twenty four leading experts who are specially active in pain research were invited to participate in the symposium, of whom fourteen are Japanese and ten from other countries around the world. These scientists had a collective background in anatomy, physiology and pharmacology. Approximately 150 participants attended the symposium, with over 30 posters presented.
