Title: Allostasis, homeostasis and the costs of physiological adaptation
Description: "This book, the first edited volume to focus on allostasis, orients the reader by addressing basic physiological regulatory systems and examining bodily regulation under duress. It integrates the basic concepts of physiological homeostasis with disorders such as depression, stress, anxiety, and addiction and will therefore appeal to graduate students, medical students, and researchers working in related areas."--Jacket.
