Primer on the Autonomic Nervous System presents, in a readable and accessible format, key information about how the autonomic nervous system controls bodily function and dysfunction.In cooperation with the American Autonomic Society, this primer represents the largest collection of worldwide autonomic nervous system authorities ever to contribute to a single treatise. It is especially suitable for students, scientists, and physicians who wish to find, in a single location, key information about all aspects of autonomic physiology and pathology.This primer provides up-to-date knowledge about basic and clinical autonomic neuroscience in a format designed to make learning easy and fun.
@introbul:Key Features@bul:* Compact for easy access and readability* Written by the leading autonomic authorities* Up-to-date key information* Both basic and clinical for scientists, physicians, and students
Researchers and neuroscientists, and students in experimental neurology, physiology, and endocrinology will be interested.
