Preface
The book series Neuroscience and Respiration presents contributions by expert researchers and clinicians in the field of pulmonary disorders. The chapters provide timely overviews of contentious issues or recent advances in the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of the entire range of pulmonary disorders, both acute and chronic. The texts are thought as a merger of basic and clinical research dealing with respiratory medicine, neural and chemical regulation of respiration, and the interactive relationship between respiration and other neurobiological systems such as cardiovascular function or the mind-to-body connection. The authors focus on the leading-edge therapeutic concepts, methodologies, and innovative treatments. Pharmacotherapy is always in the focus of respiratory research. The action and pharmacology o
