Central autonomic circuits in the brain and spinal cord are
essential to vertebrate life: they control all basic bodily
functions, including blood pressure, body temperature regulation,
digestion, and reproduction.
Edited by two experts in the field, Ida Llewellyn-Smith and Anthony
Verberne, and extensively illustrated, the second edition of
Central Regulation of Autonomic Functions presents the
extraordinary advances that have been made over the last 20 years
in the understanding of how the central nervous system controls
autonomic functions.
Written in a clear and readable manner by an international
collection of neuroscientists and physiologists, and nine chapters
describe central autonomic circuits from the cerebral cortex to the
periphery. Eight more chapters address specific bodily functions
and their control by central autonomic circuits. Two additional
chapters discuss cardio-respiratory integration and regulation of
autonomic function by visceral and somatic afferents. All of the
chapters are up-to-date and cover topics such as the central
autonomic regulation of airways, gastrointestinal function, energy
homeostasis, body temperature, and sexual function, reflecting the
latest research.
One of the only texts to provide the whole story of how the brain
controls basic bodily functions that are critical for life, Central
Regulation of Autonomic Functions will be essential reading for
graduate students and researchers in neuroscience, anatomy,
pharmacology and physiology as well as a valuable reference work
for established workers in the field.
