Edited by Gebhart GF. Seattle: IASP Press; 1995. Comprehensive discussion of evidence to support a role of altered processing of visceral afferent information in the etiology of functional bowel disorders. Possible peripheral and central mechanisms that might mediate visceral hypersensitivity are discussed, and possible etiologic theories are presented.
