The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that
regulates and coordinates body activities. It is made up of two
major divisions: the central nervous system consisting of the brain
and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system. This consists of
all other neural elements, including the peripheral nerves and the
autonomic nerves. Peripheral nerves are the essential connections
between the brain and spinal cord and the body. Without nerves
there is no movement or sensation. Our Wired Nerves: The Human
Nerve Connectome, reviews the essential anatomy and physiology of
the peripheral nerve. It introduces the reader to what neuropathies
are, how pain arises from damaged nerves and how nerves might be
regenerated, including new and exciting ideas over how to coax
their regrowth. Written by Dr. Douglas Zochodne leading expert in
the field, and first book to focus on the Peripheral nerves it will
surely be an essential reference for researchers and clinicians
alike.
