From the reviews:

Brain Neurosecretory Cytokines is an excellent book, a veritable goldmine of information, at the cutting edge of neuroscience. It should stimulate ideas for future directions in neuroscience for years to come. This volume should be highly useful for medical libraries, neuroscientists, endocrinologists and graduate students in these fields. (Arthur S. Brecher, TRENDS in Endocrinology & Metabolism, Vol. 16 (6), 2005)
