Description
This book reviews the basic science underpinning the autonomic control of various body systems as well as the state-of-the-art clinical applications by which these systems are surgically modulated in patients today. Mr Jonathan A. Hyam is a Neurosurgical Registrar at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London, and a Visiting Academic at Oxford Functional Neurosurgery and the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Oxford. He was awarded his DPhil in 2012 from the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics.; Mr Erlick A. C. Pereira is a Senior Neurosurgical Registrar at the Department of Neurosurgery, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, UK. He has published around 90 papers in other areas of surgery and neuroscience. Last year, he gained both his FRCS (Neuro.Surg) and was awarded a DM for research into deep brain surgery for pain.; Mr Alexander L. Green is a Consultant Neurosurgeon at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Oxford, UK. He is currently president of the British Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (BSSFN). 1 Jonathan A. Hyam and Alexander L.
