Several new developments in the field of neuroimmunology with focus on the brain-to-immune system communication have been the incentive for this PIR volume. It covers topics such as brain-immune interactions, the impact of stress on the immune response, pain and immunosuppression, the modulation of inflammation and pain by the sympathetic nervous system, consequences of nerve injury for the immune system, neuronal mechanisms of immune cell recruitment, and the modulation of the immune response by corticotropin-releasing hormone or adenosine. The authors are a unique group of scientists who are all interested in brain-to-immune interactions; however, each from a different perspective. The volume will serve both neurobiologists and immunologists to understand the influence of the central nervous system on peripheral inflammation. Many aspects of this book will also be stimulating for researchers in the pain field.
Of related interest . . . Neuronal Nicotinic Receptors Pharmacology and Therapeutic Opportunities Edited by Stephen P. Arneric and Jorge D. Brioni Providing a comprehensive review of nicotinic receptors, this reference examines all aspects-from the molecular level to clinical applications. The editors cover the emerging molecular biological advances in the cloning of nAChRs, as well as the localization and regulation of these receptors, and the role these receptors have in central nervous system (CNS) disorder functions. Additionally, examined areas include in vivo pharmacology, and the therapeutic opportunities existing for agents that selectively interact with these receptors to treat CNS ...
