The autonomic nervous system is critical in the maintenance of homeostasis by participating in the regulation ofvirtually all functions of the body. Not surprising, autonomic dysfunction is implicated in the development ofnumerous diseases involving diverse organ systems. From its beginning, the Primer on the Autonomic Nervous System had the ambitious goal of providing a comprehensive but concise overview of autonomic physiology andpathophysiology.The Primer represents the largest collection of worldwide autonomic nervous system authorities ever assembled in one book. It is especially suitable for students, scientists, and physicians seeking key information about all aspects of autonomic physiology and pathology in one convenient source. Each of the close to 150 chapters provides the essential knowledge of the respective topic and ends with key references where readers can find more exhaustive information, making it a convenient resource of knowledge.We edit the fourth edition of the Primer to build on the success of previous editions and provide up-to-dateknowledge about basic and clinical autonomic neuroscience, while preserving its original goal of providing acomprehensive but concise overview. We hope it will prove useful to our readers.
