TY - GEN N2 - Functional pain disorders are highly prevalent, but difficult to diagnose and treat. There is strong evidence that dysfunction in central pain modulation contributes to pain amplification and hypersensitivity. The first aim of this thesis was to compare the basic firing properties and light-evoked stimulus-response curves of RVM cells in female versus male rats.
