Sinopsis

Almost all bodily functions are dependent on activity of the autonomic nervous system – from the cardiovascular system, the gastrointestinal tract, the evacuative and sexual organs, to the regulation of temperature, metabolism and tissue defence. Balanced functioning of each aspect of this system is an important basis of our life and well-being. In this long-awaited second edition, the author, a leading figure in this field, provides an up-to-date and detailed description of the cellular and integrative organization of the autonomic nervous system, covering both peripheral and central aspects. The book exposes modern neurobiological concepts that allow us to understand why this system normally runs so smoothly and why its deterioration has such disastrous consequences. This broad overview will appeal to researchers and advanced undergraduate students of the various biological and medical sciences studying how the autonomic nervous system works and to clinicians and physical therapists whose practice involves systems dependent on autonomic functions.

Acerca del autor

Wilfrid Jänig is Professor Emeritus of Physiology at the Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany. He has conducted neurobiological research on the autonomic nervous system since 1973. He combined research in Kiel with research at universities in Australia (Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney), at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and at the University of California, San Francisco. His experiments, in which electrical signals in single sympathetic nerve fibers were recorded during natural and reflex activity, have established the principle of selective control of peripheral organs by the brain and the involvement of the sympathetic nervous system in various types of pain and in inflammation.
