This book synthesizes cognitive neuroscience, music theory, and musicology to provide insights into human cognition and perception. It also explores how a neuroscience perspective can improve listening and performing experiences for Bach’s music. Written by a physician-neuroscien... recognized for scholarly articles on Bach’s music, this book uses specific examples to explore neuroscience across Bach’s compositions.The book is structured to discuss the brain’s action, perception, and cognition as connected to specific Bach concertos, tones, notes, and performances. Two guest contributors provide insight into exact mathematical, or topologic, and music theoretic aspects of Bach’s music with implications for cognitive neuroscience.

      An Evolutionary Approach to Understanding and Treating Anorexia Nervosa and Other Eating Problems embarks on an enlightening exploration of the intricate web that intertwines human evolution and the complex world of eating disorders. This book delves deep into the enigmatic realm of anorexia nervosa (AN), revealing the underlying mechanisms that have confounded clinicians for years. Drawing upon the latest research in neuroscience and genetics, Dr. Guisinger challenges conventional notions, contending that eating disorders are not simply psychological aberrations but rather adaptive responses forged by our ancestors' historical struggle against famine. This groundbreaking book unravels the neuroendocrine transformations that take place in genetically susceptible individuals when faced with starvation, shedding light on the bewildering juxtaposition of extreme hunger and the relentless fear of food.Each chapter guides readers through the intricate phases of treatment, offering a comprehensive roadmap for clinicians and caregivers. From the initial stages of treatment amidst starvation to the challenging journey of restoring patients to a healthy weight, this book provides a vital understanding of the physiological changes that must occur for a full recovery. This book also addresses the inherent flaws in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and showcases the outcomes of psychotherapy research. But beyond anorexia nervosa, Dr. Shan Guisinger extends her expertise to encompass a broader perspective on the evolutionary roots of various eating disorders, ultimately emphasizing the pressing need to acknowledge and accommodate the universal influence of culture's stringent beauty standards. An Evolutionary Approach to Understanding and Treating Anorexia Nervosa and Other Eating Problems is a paramount guide for clinicians and researchers alike, offering a fresh and illuminating approach that bridges the gap between science and compassion, ultimately leading us toward more effective treatments and greater empathy for those afflicted by these complex conditions.
