The role of nitric oxide in neuropathic pain and neurodegeneration

Abstract

To Torsten Gordh senior: I was asked to participate in this celebration day arranged because of your 90 years birthday, and I am really glad to do so, in order to honor my father. In my lecture I will connect to Torsten Gordh senior's deep and well known interest for the spinal cord and anaesthesia/analgesia, and today discuss the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the spinal cord, and its importance for neuropathic pain and neurodegeneration.
