Primer on the Autonomic Nervous System, Fourth Edition provides a
concise and accessible overview of autonomic neuroscience for
students, scientists, and clinicians. The book's 142 chapters draw
on the expertise of more than 215 basic scientists and clinicians
who discuss key information on how the autonomic nervous system
controls the body, particularly in response to stress. This new
edition also focuses on the translational crossover between basic
and clinical research. In addition to comprehensively covering all
aspects of autonomic physiology and pathology, topics such as
psychopharmacology decoding and modulating nerve function are also
explored.
The Primer on the Autonomic Nervous System presents, in a readable
and accessible format, key information about how the autonomic
nervous system controls the body, particularly in response to
stress. It represents the largest collection of world-wide
autonomic nervous system authorities ever assembled in one book. It
is especially suitable for students, scientists and physicians
seeking key information about all aspects of autonomic physiology
and pathology in one convenient source. Providing up-to-date
knowledge about basic and clinical autonomic neuroscience in a
format designed to make learning easy and fun, this book is a
must-have for any neuroscientist s bookshelf
* Greatly amplified and updated from previous edition including the
latest developments in the field of autonomic cardiovascular
regulation and neuroscience
* Provides key information about all aspects of autonomic
physiology and pathology
* Discusses stress and how its effects on the body are
mediated
* Compiles contributions by over 140 experts on the autonomic
nervous system"
Clinical case studies have long been recognized as a useful adjunct
to problem-based learning and continuing professional development.
They emphasize the need for clinical reasoning, integrative
thinking, problem-solving, communication, teamwork and
self-directed learning - all desirable generic skills for health
care professionals. This book is based on the unique autonomic
program at the Mayo Clinic, comprising an autonomic laboratory that
studies over 4000 patients annually. The authors teach using actual
patient material and laboratory recordings to clarify complex
autonomic syndromes. Important and common disorders like neurogenic
orthostatic hypotension and distal small fiber neuropathy are
described in some detail. There are also fascinating uncommon
autonomic syndromes described succinctly and clearly. Emphasis is
given to clarifying what is real and highlighting those changes
that mimic autonomic dysfunction. Providing a broad breadth of
coverage with many clinical examples, the book will be of interest
to residents and non-specialist practitioners in neurology and
cardiology.

Awareness of neuropathy as a chronic complication of diabetes is
constantly increasing. Diabetes centers adopt methods to diagnose
neuropathy without neurological training. This trend calls for
instructions on how to use and interpret diagnostic methods. This
book includes recent research and covers clinical, technical, and
public health aspects of neuropathy, bringing together the top
experts in the field.
