Advances in Physiological Sciences, Volume 16: Sensory Functions

Contains the proceedings of the symposia of the 28th International Congress of Physiology, held in Budapest in July 1980. The book presents scientific papers discussing a wide range of topics on sensory functions.

The topics discussed include somato-sensory thalamic unit activities recorded in chronic awake animals; neuropharmacology of spinal cord reaction to noxious inputs; pain and thermoreception; and neural mechanisms for binocular depth discrimination.

Physiologists, pathologists, biologists, physicians, and researchers will find the book invaluable.
