Handbook of the Autonomic Nervous System in Health and Disease: 55 (Neurological Disease and Therapy, 55) - Tapa dura

Examines the role of the ANS in the maintenance and control of bodily homeostasis, as well as in the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and treatment of disorders such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, asthma, arrhythmia, diabetes, ischemia, myocardial infarction, urinary retention, and depression.

Professor Ma-Li Wong, Co-Director of the Center for Pharmacogenomics & Clinical Pharmacology, UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, was trained in neurology at the University of SAo Paulo, Brazil and psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, and at Yale University. She joined the National Institute of Mental Health (Bethesda, MD) in 1993 as Head of the Molecular Neuroendocrinology Unit, Clinical Neuroendocrinology Branch. In 1999 she took up a professorship at the UCLA Department of Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences, later becoming Director of its Neuroendocrine Core, and has been Director of the General Clinical Research Center Core Laboratory since 2002. Her current research focuses on the genomics and genetics of antidepressant treatment. Professor Wong is Associate Editor of Molecular Psychiatry.
