Surveys the various sorts of information about the gastrointestinal tract that are carried directly to the brain by vagal sensory neurons, how the vagal sensory and motor components interact anatomically and physiologically in the brain, and the nature of vagal sensory participation in selected aspects of physiology and behavior. Among the topics are the comparative anatomy of medullary vagal nerve nuclei, the central regulation of brainstem gastric vago-vagal control circuits, and a hypothesis of a protective role for vagal afferents. For researchers in biology or medicine who are investigating the nervous or gastrointestinal system. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
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.
