The Immune System: Mental Health and Neurological Conditions fully investigates how immune-related cellular, molecular, and anatomical changes impact mental functioning. The book combines human and animal studies to reveal immunological changes related to mental-health problems. In addition, users will find comprehensive information on new research related to the microbial composition of the gut microbiome and how it influences brain function and mental health. Common comorbidities with mental illness and their inherent immunological or inflammatory components are also covered.New chapters and sections on peripheral and central mechanisms in relation to viral pathogens, RNA editing to treat diseases, and COVID-19 will be included. Written by leaders in the field, the book synthesizes basic and clinical research to provide a thorough understanding on the role of immunity in neuropsychiatry. This book covers both mental-health conditions and degenerative disorders of the brain, including depression, schizophrenia, autism-like spectrum disorders, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s-like dementia.

Understanding Autism: Perspectives, Assessment, Interventions, and the Journey Toward Inclusion is a compelling book offering a multifaceted examination, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of autism spectrum disorder from both biological and social perspectives. From the role of bioactive lipids in the pathobiology of autism to the challenges faced by individuals with autism within the criminal justice system, this book explores critical aspects of autism, assessment strategies, and innovative interventions. From a biological perspective, readers will be introduced to the gut-brain connection and the impact of vitamin D on the gut microbiota. Meanwhile, the social perspective sheds light on sensory processing, autonomic regulation, and socio-emotional development in autism, as well as the pressing issue of justice and representation. Through the assessment section, readers will explore the unique challenges faced by parents with autism spectrum disorder and delve into linguistic anomalies in autism. Finally, the interventions section introduces groundbreaking programs and strategies designed to improve the lives of individuals with autism. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, educator, or simply curious about autism, this book is an essential guide that offers diverse insights into this complex condition, ultimately fostering greater awareness, understanding, and support for individuals on the spectrum.

The Electrical Fields of Consciousness: Brain Waves and Dreaming examines neuro-electrophysiology from its origins in the electrical fields of primitive organisms to its roles in the electrophysiologically defined states of human consciousness. This volume presents and cogently organizes the wide spectrum of information available as to how and why bioelectrical fields are used to define and function in supporting both life and consciousness. Integrating electrophysiology in a comprehensible manner into neuroanatomical, electromagnetic, and global platform theories of neuroconsciousness, this book brings together the wide spectrum of available data-based evidence regarding the physiology and functions of bioelectric fields and their relationship to consciousness.Chapters examine the origin and potential function of bioelectrical fields and EEG associations with conscious states, as well as the relationship between electrical fields and consciousness. Incorporating the basic science, clinical correlates, and functional potential of CNS bioelectrical fields, this book is a must-read for all working in the field of CNS electrophysiology or neuroconsciousness.

Neuroscience Without Representations

In Neuroscience Without Representations, an Open Access book, Oscar Vilarroya addresses the notion of “representation” as used in expressions like “neural representation” or “mental representation”. This concept is fundamental in neuroscience, yet there remains no clear, universally accepted view on what it means for a nervous system to represent something, what constitutes a neural activity as a representation, and what is being re-presented.The book lays the foundation for a non-representational view of brain function. Building upon György Buzsáki’s critique of the theoretical framework underlying current cognitive neuroscience, Vilarroya argues that disciplines such as embodied and embedded cognition—collectively known as ‘4E cognition’—are driving a paradigm shift in our understanding of animal cognition.Rather than grounding cognition solely in representations, the author proposes an alternative: understanding cognition as enaction—the meaningful engagement of an organism to address situational requirements. The book supports this approach through detailed analyses of recent studies.
