Investigators have demonstrated that the activation of α7-nAChRs exerts analgesic effects in some chronic pain models. However, the role of spinal…[Read more]

Successful compensation is obtained and yields experimental data in agreement with the theoretical predictions.A simple and robust technique of Moiré topography with single-image capture and incorporating digital filtering along with a four-step digitally implemented phase-shifting method is introduced for three-dimensional (3D) surface mapping.…[Read more]
