Romanovsky AA, Guest Editor

This issue was published in connection with the symposium on Fever: The Role of the Vagus Nerve, which took place at the Experimental Biology Meeting (San Diego, California, USA) on April 16, 2000.

The issue includes a preface, seven reviews, six short papers, and seven full-length papers.

For papers from the Romanovsky lab published in this issue, you can view PubMed records and request reprints from the Publications page.
