Beskrivning

Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of interactions between the brain and the immune system. This book provides a clearly written summary of behavioral, neural and endocrine regulation of immune responses and of the effects of immune system activity on neural and endocrine functions and behavior. The underlying premise is that the brain and immune system represent a single, integrated system of defense.
