Breathing, Feeding, and Neuroprotection / Edition 1

by I. Homma, S. Shioda

Overview

This book presents a detailed analysis of current understanding of breathing. Chapters on neuroprotection examine the functional significance of the blood – brain barrier; other chapters examine health and disease in relation to the hypothalamic and limbic systems. The book reviews research on the human brain, focusing on the recently developed EEG/dipole tracing method, as well as animal experiments. The book is a useful reference for researchers in neuroscience and related fields.
