Letters to the Editor: Letters to the Editor are encouraged and may report new or important observations. Letters may also comment on or provide criticism pertaining to developments in understanding autonomic function, or papers previously published in this journal. Criticism of published work must be objective and supported by experimental data. Any letter accepted for publication which comments upon a previously published article will be shown to the author(s) of the original paper, who will be invited to submit a reply for publication in the same issue. Letters should follow the normal presentation style of the journal. They may include references, one table and/or one illustration, and should be less than 150 words in length. Although we make all efforts to avoid mistakes, they occasionally escape our notice. Mistakes pointed out in Letters will be published in the "Department of Errors" and the author will be acknowledged.

Editorials/Review articles: Authors should discuss the topic of their proposed review with the Editors before submission. Unsolicited editorials are also welcome and will be submitted for peer review.

Preparation of Manuscript
1. Manuscripts should be typed on one side of the paper only with a 4-cm margin on the left side and a space of 6mm between lines. The author should mark in the margin where figures and tables are to be inserted. Form and content should be carefully checked. A charge will be made for changes introduced after the manuscript has been set in type.

To facilitate communication between authors, editors and publisher, the corresponding author should furnish a telephone number, FAX number and email address on the title page of the manuscript.
3. Each paper must be preceded by an abstract of the main points.
4. Key words. Immediately following the abstract no more than 5 key words should be supplied. Key words should be taken from Index Medicus (Medical Subject Headings) or, failing this, composed on the same principle.

6. References. Only works that are cited in the text and that have been accepted for publication should be included in the list of references. The list should be numbered and alphabetical according to the first author´s name. Works by 2 authors should be listed alphabetically according to the 2nd author´s name, then chronologically. Works by 3 or more authors should be listed chronologically. If available the DOI of the cited literature should be added at the end of the References. References should be styled as follows.

Citation of works in the text should be by numbers in square brackets.
7. Figures should be restricted to the minimum needed to clarify the text and not be regarded as merely illustrative. Information given in legends should not be repeated in the text; similarly, the same data should not be presented in both graph and fable form. Previously published illustrations are not usually accepted.
All figures should be numbered consecutively throughout and submitted on separate sheets apart from the text (legends should be on a separate sheet). All figures should bear the author´s name and the figure number, and the top of the figure should be indicated on the back in soft pencil. Facial photographs must be accompanied by written permission to publish.
