<i>The Body-Brain Fusion for Neuroscience</i> describes the state-of-the-art in brain research, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between the brain and peripheral organs. The book emphasizes the non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system and how emerging mechanisms and players of the immune system interact with "classical" brain cells to control and affect behavior, autonomic regulation and neurodegenerative processes. As a better understanding of afferent and efferent functions of the brain are important to contemporary neuronal doctrine, this book is a crucial read for anyone who wants to become familiar with the inner workings of the nervous system. <br><br><ul><li>Introduces the reader to basic principles of brain research and integrative physiology</li><li>Dissects the dispute between Cajal and Golgi regarding the state-of-the art in the neurosciences and immunobiology</li><li>Provides a short history of brain research and meta
