About this title

Synopsis

In its day-to-day living, an organism is often beset by circumstances to adjust to if it is to preserve its well-being or, more seriously, to continue its existence. The living body can usually respond adequately when it receives signals warning it of a present or impending abnormal condition, whether endogenous or exogenous. The receipt of warning information by the brain leads to orders and instructions to carry out some appropriate behavior that will improve the organism's chance for survival and well-being. The biowarning system of the brain is thus important to the study of both basic and clinical medicine. For this reason, an international symposium was convened in 1987 with the purpose of assembling the leading scholars in this field to discuss their research results. Three sessions made up the symposium and constitute the major divisions of this proceeding volume: Neural and Physiological Aspects, Molecular, Pharmacological and Biochemical Aspects, and Emotional and Behavioral Aspects.
