Neurobiological studies of addiction in chronic pain states / edited by Carolyn A. Fairbanks, Thomas J. Martin, Ph. D.

Using rodent models, the contributors explore the basic neurobiology of the relationship among chronic pain, opioid pharmacology, and addiction. Combining various pain models with opioid self-administration and central administration pharmacotherapies allows researchers to answer important questions...
