Fundamentals of Brain Organoids for Neurological Diseases provides a practical resource for researchers on how to utilize and apply brain organoids. This book is organized into nine distinct sections, guiding the reader through each step from advanced overview of what organoids are to the use of brain organoids in various neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. In later sections, this book reviews the necessary methods involved in organoid development including the elements and challenges involved. This book will serve as a valuable tool for researchers, helping to advance the understanding of brain biology and disease mechanisms.Researchers use brain organoids to study the formation of neural tissues, investigate the processes involved in brain development, and gain a better understanding of neurological disorders and diseases. Brain organoids are particularly useful in studying developmental disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases that affect the brain. <i>

Vestibular schwannomas are the most common tumors of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), the junction between the cerebellum and the brainstem. They constitute around 8% of intracranial tumors. They are benign and arise from the vestibular nerve within the internal auditory canal growing from the canal into the CPA eventually causing brainstem compression. Their incidence is around 2.5 per 100,000. Around 70% of tumors do not grow following diagnosis but those that do or those that are already large at presentation are usually treated either with stereotactic radiosurgery or microsurgical resection. Vestibular schwannomas have been extensively investigated over the years with nearly 10,000 peer reviewed papers relating to them on Pubmed. Despite this plethora of data there are very few books that assimilate the literature to provide a comprehensive, readable and contemporary overview of their management. This book aims to meet these requirements covering both sporadic and neurofibromatosis type 2 vestibular schwannomas. The chapters within the book will cover all aspects of the diagnosis and management of vestibular schwannomas. Opening chapters provide a historical back drop, followed by current state of the art of molecular biology, histopathology and genomics relating to vestibular schwannomas. A comprehensive section related to the assessment of patients with vestibular schwannomas will highlight the multidisciplinary approach to the management of these tumors. This will set out some of the cutting edge research currently being undertaken in prediction of tumor growth using novel biological and radiological markers. The next section focuses on the treatment of vestibular schwannomas. This will make up the largest proportion of the book and will cover all treatment modalities from observation through to stereotactic radiosurgery and microsurgical resection. Lastly will be a section focusing on rehabilitation of neurological deficit arising as a result of the disease or its treatment.

Neuro-ophthalmological Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment is written to address the many problems faced by patients with ocular pain of neurological origin. These patients are often incorrectly referred to ophthalmologists and otolaryngologists to diagnose eye problems or sinus disease, respectively. While these ailments are neurological in nature, the average time between the onset of pain and a visit to a neurologist is 13 years. By this point, most patients have received at least one wrong diagnosis. Additionally, some patients have undergone several unnecessary investigative tests, received improper, flawed treatments, and continued to suffer. "Neuro-ophthalmological Pain: Research and Treatment" contains information on a multitude of often-overlooked ailments in a single, comprehensive volume, for use by the neurologist as well as general practitioners looking to guide their patients toward appropriate care. It will provide potentially life-changing information for those with ocular pain with decreased vision; ocular pain with ophthalmoplegia or ophthalmoparesis; ocular pain with papilledema; and ocular pain with autonomic manifestations Neuro-ophthalmological Pain: Research and Treatment is a powerful tool in helping physicians establish correct diagnoses, so that they may either provide proper treatment, or refer their patients to the correct medical specialists.
