    Summary: This book presents the state of the art regarding the use of non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS and tDCS) in the research and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. The contributions, all of which were prepared by internationally recognized experts in the field, are divided into two main sections (for TMS and tDCS, respectively) across diagnoses, following an introductory section on the mechanisms of action and neurophysiological background. Neuropsychological perspectives and approaches are provided as well. The book is ultimately intended to offer a unique, integrated approach to the use of non-invasive brain stimulation across the clinical neurosciences, providing a comprehensive and updated perspective that will benefit psychiatrists, neurologists, clinical psychologists and neurophysiologists alike.

    The pancreatic islet is one of the well-studied endocrine tissues in regard to innervation. This neuro-insular complex has been known since the 1920's. The direct contact of the nervous element to the gastro-enteric endocrine cells has recently been reported in the proventricular mucosa of the finch. Here, the majority of the endocrine cells lie in the lamina propria and form a neuro-endocrine complex with unmyelinated nerve fibers. A similar neuro-endocrine complex was also reported in the rat stomach and in the duodenum of the human fetus. The occurrence of the neuro-endocrine complexes in the gastro-entero-pancreatic endocrine system might provide supportive data to the neuro-ectodermal theory on the origin of the endocrine cells proposed by Professors A. G. E. PEARSE and T. FUJITA.
