This book discusses current research and projects on the involved brain circuitry and neurotransmitter systems. Specific chapters cover such topics as pharmacological conditioning of the endocrine and immune system, expectancy modulation of opioid neurotransmission, nocebo effects in visceral pain, and conditioning as a higher-order cognitive phenomenon, amongst other topics. - Latest placebo studies in clinically relevant models - Current research and projects on the involved brain circuitry and neurotransmitter systems - Specific chapters on applications
