Review

From the reviews:

“This is a very detailed and comprehensive textbook concerning the energetics, biochemistry, physiology, and neurological implications of sensory nerves. ... this monograph is a welcome addition and primer for medical students, graduate fellows, professors, and physiology research personnel working with human and animal preparations.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, February, 2014)
