Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This is the first book devoted to the neurobiology of nociceptors, specialised receptors for pain, which were first described conceptually nearly 100 years ago. Leading researchers have provided a comprehensive overview of the structure of nociceptors, their role in signalling injury, their transduction mechanisms, and changes to these mechanisms which result from nerve injury or regeneration. Neurobiology of Nociceptors will be essential for both researchers and clinicians in the study of pain and pain management.
MoreLong description:
This is the first comprehensive review of all aspects of nociceptor function, including the structure of nociceptor endings, their neurochemistry, and evolutionary considerations. It deals with the functional properties of nociceptors innervating different organs and the biophysical mechanisms underlaying the transduction process in nociceptors. There are sections on how nociceptor function is modified by nerve injury and regeneration and on its physiopathology.
This is an essential reference for researchers in neuroscience and pharmacology, and clinicians working in pain management.
a compilation of detailed chapters, which attempts and succeeds as a thorough review of the literature pertaining to nociceptors up to 1995 ... the book is well organized and carefully written and edited so that it remains readable and thought-provoking throughout ... a comprehensive source text that provides appropriately referenced key concepts of contemporary research involving nociceptors, and brings into focus current perspectives for understanding their role in pain perception
