,Preface
The book series Neuroscience and Respiration presents contributions by
expert researchers and clinicians in medical research and clinical practice.
Particular attention is focused on pulmonary disorders as the respiratory tract
is at the first line of defense against pathogens and environmental toxic
sources. The articles provide timely overviews of contentious issues or recent
advances in the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of the entire range of
diseases and disorders, both acute and chronic. The texts are thought as a
merger of basic and clinical research dealing with biomedicine at both molec-
ular and functional levels and with the interactive relationship between respi-
ration and other neurobiological systems, such as cardiovascular function,
immunogenicity, endocrinology and humoral regulation, and the mind-to-
body connection. The authors focus on modern diagnostic techniques and
leading-edge therapeutic concepts, methodologies, and innovative treatments.
Neuromolecular and carcinogenetic aspects relating to gene polymorphism
and epigenesis as well as practical, data-driven options to manage patients
also are addressed.
Body functions, including lung ventilation and its regulation, are ulti-
mately driven by the brain. However, neuropsychological aspects of disorders
are still mostly a matter of conjecture. After decades of misunderstanding and
neglect, emotions have been rediscovered as a powerful modifier or even the
probable cause of various somatic disorders. Today, the link between stress
and health is undeniable. Scientists accept a powerful psychological connec-
tion that can directly affect our quality of life and health span.
Clinical advances stemming from molecular and biochemical research are
but possible if research findings are translated into diagnostic tools, therapeu-
tic procedures, and education, effectively reaching physicians and patients.
All this cannot be achieved without a multidisciplinary, collaborative, bench-
to-bedside approach involving both researchers and clinicians. The role of
science in shaping medical knowledge and transforming it into practical care
is undeniable.

Concerning respiratory disorders, their societal and economic burden has
been on the rise worldwide, leading to disabilities and shortening of life-span.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and sleep apnea syndrome are cases in
point. Concerted efforts are required to improve this situation, and part of
those efforts is gaining insights into the underlying mechanisms of disease and
staying abreast with the latest developments in diagnosis and treatment
regimens. It is hoped that the articles published in this series will assume a
leading position as a source of information on interdisciplinary medical
research advancements, addressing the needs of medical professionals and
allied health-care workers, and become a source of reference and inspiration
for future research ideas.
I would like to express my deep gratitude to Paul Roos, and Cynthia
Kroonen of Springer Nature NL for their genuine interest in making this
scientific endeavor come through and in the expert management of the
production of this novel book series.
