Comparative Physiology and Evolution of the Autonomic Nervous System

The fourth volume in the Autonomic Nervous System series, is an up-to-date account of the comparative physiology and functional anatomy of the autonomic nervous system, with an emphasis on non-mammalian vertebrates.

The book starts with an overview of the field and then discusses both “classical” (adrenergic and cholinergic) non-adrenergic and non-cholinergic (NANC) types of neurotransmission.

The account is then further developed by an examination of the autonomic nervous control of specific systems and organs.

Readership: Researchers, working professionals, undergraduates and graduates working in neurology, cardiology, internal medicine, clinical pharmacology, and hypertension.
