Advances in Psychoneuroimmunology, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1994 Hans Selye Symposia on Neuroendocrinology and Stress Series, Vol. 3

The editors have adopted "psychoneuroimmunology" as a term which implies the involvement of higher nervous system activity in the regulatory interactions of the neuroendocrine and the immune systems. The alternative terms neuroimmunomodulation, neuroendocrinimmunology, and immunoendocrinology, etc.,
