Product Description
Each volume in the "Autonomic Nervous System" series deals with a different area of autonomic control in health and disease. This, the second volume, provides an overview on the nature of the factors that exert constraints on the differentiation and maturation of the autonomic nervous system. Subjects covered include: development of autonomic neurones; molecules affecting nerve growth and survival; regeneration after injury; and the degree to which the wiring of the nervous system is rigid or fixed. ...

Great product for quick reference use.

It is much easier to point to a picture than it is trying to explain where exactly the pain is.

I also use it with friends to help them understand what is going on in their bodies. ... Read more

Product Description
The eye is our window to the world and the loss of its function has a most profound effect on our ability to interact with the world around us. Despite this there is a tendency to underestimate the range, complexity and subtlety of the processes that sustain its function. This volume presents a view which attempts to draw together various aspects of our understanding of the autonomic neural control of the eye and linked aspects of its pathophysiology. Areas covered include nervous control of the cornea, accommodation, the Edinger-Westphal Nucleus, purinergic signalling together with retinal and corneal transplantation. The objective of Nervous Control of the Eye is to provide researchers with an insight into the relative significance of the different components involved in optic innervation. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "The Autonomic Nervous System," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have The Autonomic Nervous System in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with The Autonomic Nervous System when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name The Autonomic Nervous System, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
Part of the "Wiley Psychophysiology Handbooks" series, this book describes the application of psychophysiology techniques to the study of human cognition. The editors have brought together a series of researchers who deal with serial, parallel and capacity models of information processing, attention, motor processing, mnemonic processing, language, cognitive development and aging. Through the volume, theoretical issues are explored using central and autonomonic indices. The book keeps theoretical issues to the fore but is closely based on research results. ... Read more
