Request a sales quoteIntroduction to Clinical Aspects of the Autonomic Nervous System: Sixth edition, Volume Two is an all-encompassing reference to the autonomic nervous system's function, dysfunction and pathology. This updated volume describes the role of the autonomic nervous system in circadian rhythms, sleep and wakefulness, aging, exercise, and its role in pain perception. Additional chapters focus on disorders causing autonomic dysfunction, including spinal cord injuries, autonomic neuropathies, trophic disorders, progressive autonomic failure, autonomic adaptations in space and hypoxia, and autonomic testing in the laboratory. This book will help readers become well-equipped to care for patients with autonomic disorders and guide research endeavors.
- Provides an extensive reference on the autonomic nervous system and its crucial functions
- Discusses all aspects of autonomic physiology and pathology, including autonomic failure, spinal cord injuries, autonomic neuropathies, trophic disorders, and other forms of autonomic dysfunction
- Outlines the role of the autonomic nervous system in several physiological processes, including sleep, wakefulness, aging and pain perception
- Details autonomic function testing and the effects of space exploration and hypoxia on the autonomic nervous system.
- Includes a chapter on the autonomic nervous system during the COVID-19 pandemic
