• Sommario/riassunto: A unique text, relating the dramatic advances of modern neurobiology to the understanding of the structure and function of the autonomic nervous system. It provides a clear view of the central neuronal components involved in autonomic control. It is illustrated with line drawings that summarize concepts presented in the text.
