Items related to Psychoneuroimmunology
Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of interactions between the brain and the immune system. This book provides a clearly written, extensively referenced summary of the behavioral, neural and endocrine regulation of immune responses and of the effects of immune system activity on neural and endocrine functions and behavior. It goes beyond previous editions, not only in the amount of basic research that is covered, but by the inclusion of several chapters that address the clinical implications of psychoneuroimmunology for a variety of disease processes. The underlying premise, evidenced by content of this book, is that the brain and immune system represent a single, integrated system of defense. It features: state-of-the-art reviews by established investigative teams; integrative, definitive, and multidisciplinary reviews; clinical and basic sciences coverage; new directions for clinical and basic research; and, extensive references and indexing.
