Description

Brain and Organ Communication: Effects of Crosstalk on Neurophysiology examines the intricate relationship between the brain and other organ systems within the body. With an emphasis on homeostasis of these systems, this book also explores how various systems are related and affected by the brain injury or organ damage from a neurophysiological standpoint.

This book will be most useful to researchers in neuroscience and graduate students studying neurophysiology. Those with an interest in endocrinology and clinicians in various branches of neuroscience and physiology will also find this book of interest.

Key features

  • Examines cross talk between the brain and major organ systems
