Central Autonomic Network

Clearly, a major strength of this text is the single authorship by n expert who has provided a scholary resource for clinicians and scientists alike. The writing style makes reading about complex anatomy and physiology enjoyable. Scientists and students involved in studies of autonomic systems will find this text valuable as will clinicians who are interested in this field. Mayo Clinic Proc

This book expertly integrates basic information on central organisation of autonomic control with clinical correlations. Current concepts of anatomy, phsiology, biochemistry and pharmacology of central autonomic control are clearly explained-- and given a much-needed clinical context through clinical pathological correlation as well as exaples of MRIs illustrating specific lesions. The various autonomic testing techniques, their clinical application, an consequent diagnosis and treatment are also extensively discussed.
