Description

Neuromodulation, 2nd Edition will continue to serve as a comprehensive and in-depth reference textbook covering all aspects of the rapidly growing field of neuromodulation. Since the publication of the first edition 7 years ago, there has been an explosion of knowledge germane to the field with several new fields within the rubric of Neuromodulation, optogenetics, bioelectronics medicine and brain computer interfacing, vying for “the future of medicine”. These books will provide a complete discussion of the fundamental principles of neuromodulation and therapies applied to the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, autonomic nerves and various organs. Neuromodulation Volume 1 will begins with an introduction to the field of neuromodulation, provides a historical perspective to the field of electrical stimulation, reviews the relevant neuroscience and basic mechanisms involved, and reviews the biomedical engineering considerations such as stimulation effects at the Neural Interface and device development.
