Periphery

How Your Nervous System Predicts and Protects Against Disease

Beschreibung

Moses Chao argues that activity in the peripheral nervous system predicts the onset of neurological and psychiatric conditions such as Parkinson's disease, autism, and dementia. Responsible for regulating a range of involuntary bodily processes and for detecting smells, sounds, and touch, the peripheral system may also be a key to better health.
