Chronic pain is an important personal and socio-economic burden, affecting more than 30% of people worldwide. It is highly disabling and associated with long-term affective and cognitive sequelae. Despite synergistic advances in basic and clinical research, some of the most severe conditions remain poorly managed, shifting from nociceptive nature to neuropathic and nociplastic components and major neuropsychiatric complications. Therefore, the understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and the discovery of new pharmacological targets and innovative approaches are strongly awaited. Important advances in basic research focus on the mechanistic aspect, offering no direct implication for nov...
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are members of the group C family of G-protein-coupled receptors. Eight different mGlu subtypes have been identified and classified into three groups based on amino acid sequence similarity, agonist pharmacology, and the signal transduction pathways to which they couple. They perform a variety of functions in the central and peripheral nervous systems, being involved in learning, memory, anxiety, and the perception of pain. They are found in pre- and postsynaptic neurons in synapses of the hippocampus, cerebellum, and cerebral cortex, as well as other parts of the bain and peripheral tissues. This volume will focus on the latest research in the role of Group I mGluRs in health and disease.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury will improve readers' understanding of the complexities of diagnosis and management of traumatic brain injuries.

In December 2019, the world witnessed the occurrence of a new coronavirus to humanity. The disease spread quickly and became known as a pandemic globally, affecting both society and the health care system, both the elderly and young groups of people, and both the men’s and women’s groups. It was a universal challenge that immediately caused a surge in scientific research. Be a part of a world rising in fighting against the pandemic, the Coronavirus Disease - COVID-19 was depicted in the early days of the pandemic, but updated by more than 200 scientists and clinicians to include many facets of this new infectious pandemic, including i, characteristics, ecology, and evolution of coronavir...
