Description
Neuroanatomy and Physiology of Abdominal Vagal Afferents provides a concise, up-to-date selection of focused reviews of vagal sensory participation in control of gastrointestinal function and behavior. The articles, written by internationally recognized leaders in the field, examine the types of information carried by vagal sensory neurons from the gastrointestinal tract, how the vagal sensory and motor components are arranged and interact with the brain, and the nature of vagal sensory participation in selected aspects of physiology and behavior. Future avenues of research in the area of vagal neuroanatomy and physiology are suggested.
Neuroanatomy and Physiology of Abdominal Vagal Afferents is a detailed, informative volume that will benefit neurobiologists, GI physiologists, behavioral scientists, and research gastroenterologists.
