The Oxford Encyclopedia of Neuroendocrine and Autonomic Systems

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Neuroendocrine and Autonomic Systems provides a peer-reviewed scholarly overview of neuroendocrinology and the autonomic nervous system designed to keep scholars, researchers, and practitioners up-to-date with this evolving field. With contributions from experts across the globe, the volume offers an authoritative review of the foundational theories, methods, and research topics in this vibrant field of neuroscience research.

The volume covers fundamental research that shapes the field of neuroendocrine and autonomic systems, including behavioral neuroendocrinology, neuroimmunology, autonomic regulation, stress and the brain, and the biological rhythms of hunger, thirst, and sleep. Article topics include microglia and chronic pain, hormones and animal communication, the hypocretin arousal network, and regulators of peripheral signals. All articles in this volume also appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Neuroscience.

“[I]t will be a vade mecum for interested professionals, graduate students, and possibly advanced undergraduates, and research libraries will do well to add these volumes to their medical reference collections…Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.” –CHOICE, December 2023
