Neurobiology of Body Fluid Homeostasis Transduction and Integration

Filled with rich examples of integrative neurobiology and regulatory physiology, this volume is drawn from the proceedings at the Body-Fluid Homeostasis: Transduction and Integration symposium held in Brazil in 2011. It provides updated research using human and animal models for the control of bodil...
