Levin & Alison M. Strack Chapter 18 Central Nervous System Regulation of Body Temperature Shaun F. Morrison & William W. Blessing Chapter 19 Autonomic Regulation of the Urinary Bladder and Urethra William C. de Groat Chapter 20 Autonomic Regulation of Sexual Function Lesley MarsonReviews<br> The editors have assembled another superb group of autonomic neuroscientists akin to those who contributed to the first edition that was published 20 years ago. The text is written from the perspective of the contributing basic scientist in each of the fields covered. Indeed, while the text limits itself short of a full exploration of central autonomic control, a great deal is covered...For the topics that are covered, the text would be a very fine addition to the library of the basic autonomic neuroscientist. The autonomic clinician would find the lovely basic scientific reviews of centrally regulated autonomic function a complement to other texts that cover pathophysiologic. -- William T. Talman, MD, Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience, Vice Chair for Basic Research in Neurology, Director-Laboratory of Neurobiology, University of Iowa, Carver College of Medicine, Chief Neurology Service, Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, President - FASEB <br><p><br> This is a Author InformationIda J. Llewellyn-Smith, PhD, is Associate Professor in Medicine at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia. She received her BA at Bryn Mawr College, and her PhD at the University of Sydney. She is best known for analyzing central nerve pathways that regulate the cardiovascular system using sophisticated light and electron microscopic techniques, many of which she developed herself. She is also Councilor of the American Physiology Society. Anthony J. M. Verberne, PhD, is a Associate Professor in the University of Melbourne's Department of Medicine at Austin Health, Melbourne, Australia. He received his PhD from the University of Melbourne and in 2005 was awarded a Doctor of Science. He has served on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Physiology, the British Journal of Pharmacology and Brain Research Bulletin. His research has examined supramedullary circulatory control mechanisms, central cardiovascular reflex pathways as well as central control of pancreatic secretion and glucose homeostasis.
