| Abstract
|
:
|
One of the first comprehensive references dealing specifically with this new field of integrative medicine, this text offers a full scientific picture of where the immune and neuroendocrine systems intersect, placing current understanding of system components, mechanisms, and functions side by side with clinical results illustrating the many ramifications of their interaction in human health and disease management.
