Program
For the first time in many years there is an increasing presence in the intramural program of research on pain. This symposium will highlight the exciting work being done here on campus. The presenters come from several institutes and centers and will address questions in the basic and clinical sciences. The symposium will cover areas from the molecular components of sensory neurons, tracing of neural circuits, work on visualizing brain areas excited in pain states, clinical trials on dietary interventions to prevent pain and determining the link between pain and psychological conditions.
