William P. Cheshire, Roy Freeman
One of the fascinating clinical connections between the heart and the brain is tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy. This typically reversible syndrome of transient left ventricular dysfunction following acute e...
Highlights in basic autonomic neurosciences: Autonomic control of the counter-regulatory response and glucose homeostasis
11 May 2012
Anthony J.M. Verberne, Michael P. Gilbey
Glucose homeostasis is of major importance to normal physiological function. Aberrations of glucose homeostasis occur in Type I and Type II diabetes because of loss of insulin production and loss of s...
Increased total volume and dopamine β-hydroxylase immunoreactivity of carotid body in spontaneously hypertensive rats
30 April 2012
Kouki Kato, Jun Wakai, Hideki Matsuda, Tatsumi Kusakabe, Yoshio Yamamoto
Abstract: Under hypertension, it has been reported that the carotid body (CB) is enlarged and noradrenaline (NA) content in CB is increased. Therefore, it is hypothesized that morphological and neuroc...

ISAN Information

International Society for Autonomic Neuroscience (ISAN) is a society comprising of researchers, medical professionals, academics, industry professionals and students working with the autonomic nervous system.

The purpose of ISAN is to facilitate communication between those working in this area of neuroscience and to raise the profile of autonomic neuroscience. It will arrange meetings, lobby for an improved representation of autonomic neuroscience in such organizations as IBRO, and aid communication between scientists who work on all aspects of the autonomic nervous system.

About Autonomic Neuroscience

The aim of the Journal is to stimulate, publish and disseminate original investigations on the autonomic nervous system; this includes the innervation of blood vessels and viscera, autonomic ganglia, efferent and afferent autonomic pathways, and autonomic nuclei and pathways in the central nervous system.
