Description

Here is yet another of Springer's authoritative Major Reference Works, now in its third edition. The release of these is a huge publishing event in itself, and this handbook on neurochemistry and molecular neurobiology is no exception. Required reading for neuroscientists and neurochemists, it contains data on multiple immunomodulators, many of which are also the products of hypothalamic brain cell neurosecretion. With contributions from dozens of researchers worldwide, and edited by two leading authorities in the field, this is information you can trust. Neuroimmunology is one of the most rapidly developing branches of Neurobiology, prompted by novel neurochemical, neuroendocrinological and neurophysiological investigations of the central and peripheral nervous system including neuro-endocrine systems. That explains why we have in this volume chapters that focus on immune-neuro-endocrine interactions underlying the control and regulation of processes involved in both immune and brain physiology and in the pathogenesis of different nervous diseases.
