Excerpt

This issue of Clinical Autonomic Research brings the next installment in the series on Autonomic Function Testing. Goldstein and Cheshire provide a tour-de-force of catechol neurochemistry that extends from the biosynthesis and metabolism of these compounds through their diagnostic and therapeutic relevance in clinical disease [2]. As usual, the authors do so thoroughly and with a writing style that will be accessible to students as much as to experts in autonomic function. …
