Neurobiology of Body Fluid Homeostasis
Crc Press Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4665-0693-0 (ISBN)
Drawn from the proceedings and filled with rich examples of integrative neurobiology and regulatory physiology, this volume:
Provides updated research using human and animal models for the control of bodily fluids, thirst, and salt appetite
Explores neural and endocrine control of body fluid balance, arterial pressure, thermoregulation, and ingestive behavior
Discusses recent developments in molecular genetics, cell biology, and behavioral plasticity
Reviews key aspects of brain serotonin and steroid and peptide control of fluid consumption and arterial pressure
The book highlights research conducted by leading scientists on signal transduction and sensory afferent mechanisms, molecular genetics, perinatal and adult long-term influences on regulation, central neural integrative circuitry, and autonomic/neuroendocrine effector systems. The findings discussed by the learned contributors are relevant for a basic understanding of disorders such as heat injury, hypertension, and excess salt intake. A unique reference on the neurobiology of body fluid homeostasis, this volume is certain to fuel additional research and stimulate further debate on the topic.
