Neuroregulation is a challenging and rapidly developing field that holdsthe key to many currently intractable medical conditions from nervousand mental diseases to stress-related disorders. This volume mirrors thebroad scope of research in this area with topics ranging from newconcepts on the immune system and on the action of antidepressants tothe evolution and development of the autonomic nervous system.
In addition, the latest research findings are presented for behaviouraldisorders and medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease,Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy and attention-deficit/hyperactivitydisorder. Another area of emphasis is the body's responses to stress andthe effect of neuroactive agents in the treatment of stress-relatedconditions.
Many chapters are devoted to the progress being made at the cellular andmolecular level, including areas such as:
the conditions for culture of different types of neural cells
conformational diseases and the protein folding problem
vasoactive intestinal polypeptide release from pancreaticislets
the effect of melatonin and corticosterone on macrophages
Here, in a book that expands the frontiers of neuroscience, researchersinto neuroregulation at the molecular and cellular levels as well asthose working at the clinical and systemic levels will find importantresults relating to their field.
