      Neurodegenerative disorders encompass a wide range of conditions resulting from progressive damage to cells and nervous system connections, most common are Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Millions are diagnosed each year using various forms of neuroimaging techniques, however, with new innovations there are new forms of assessments. Behavioral Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence for Neurodegenerative Diseases Assessment reviews new innovated non-invasive behavioral biometrics and artificial intelligence techniques for early neurodegenerative disease assessment. Unlike standard biometrics, behavioral biometrics is interested in non-directly measurable physical properties. It seeks patterns that are recognized only when the subject performs a particular behavior. This book reviews several AI techniques including machine learning and deep neural networks for computer vision to help observe gait, handwriting, and speech. Chapters on wearable sensors, smartphones and tablet use for neurodegenerative disease assessments are also included.

      Neuro-ophthalmologic... 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-ophthalmologi... 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-ophthalmologic... 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.

      This volume on Brainstem consolidates research for a complete understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the Brainstem and how it affects assorted other systems in the body. The brainstem impacts breathing, the gastrointestinal system, the cardiac system, mood, pain, wakefulness, consciousness, and sleep. Pathologies can impact vision, motor control, hearing, balance, blood supply and is particularly involved in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. The volume discusses how the brainstem operates in full health, pathologies associated with the brainstem and their impact, methods for monitoring brainstem function, and diagnosis and treatment of brainstem disorders. Monitoring and intervention is reliant on technologies to assess function. This volume will include CT, MRI, USG, angiography, BERA, and functional imaging.

      This volume provides a comprehensive summary of epigenetic mechanisms in brain development, from embryogenesis to aging, brain physiology and pathology. It discusses the role DNA methylation plays in regulating genomic functions, which in turn guide brain function. The book explores the epigenetic role in cell type differentiation, epigenetic processes in memory, learning, and neuronal functioning, the role of DNA methylation and other epigenetic mechanisms in sleep, feeding and metabolic control, sex, temperature regulation, and cardiovascular and blood pressure regulation. It further explores the role of epigenetic processes in neuropsychiatry disorders, neurological disease and behavioral disorders, as well as epigenetic diagnostics and therapeutics.

      The evolution of neuroimmunotherapies with the concurrent progress in autoimmune neurology will introduce the book, followed by an update on “non-targeted” therapies highlighting the value of immunosuppressants, plasmapheresis, IVIg or hematopoietic bone marrow transplantation and their mode of action in autoimmune neurology. The new agents in each of these categories, along with biomarkers for therapeutic monitoring and the application of reliable scales in assessing response, will be covered. Chapters will discuss how neuroimmunotherapies work when key molecules and pathways associated with CNS or PNS tissue damage are targeted or inhibited. The volume will describe the approved agents targeting: 1) T-cell intracellular signaling pathways and molecules associated with antigen presentation; 2) B cells, B-cell trophic factors, and autoantibodies; 3) Fc receptor modulation; 4) complement; and 5) cytokines, cell adhesion and transmigration molecules. Didactic schemes and illustrations on how these drugs work in autoimmune neurological diseases will be provided in each chapter.The second part of the book will discuss the latest therapeutics for each major autoimmune neurological disease, aimed to provide a reliable, comprehensive and up-to-date source of information useful for clinical practice and education. Didactic and practical algorithms, a step-by step approach on how best to apply the most suitable therapies for a given state of the disease or proceed to escalation therapies will be provided.Treatment controversies and uncertainties will be authoritatively emphasized by scholars in each field. A chapter addressing potential immunotherapeutic approaches, now on the pipeline or on early trials, as future means of treating some neurodegenerative diseases will be included. Another chapter will cover the new and popular-although controversial -concept of treating autoimmune pain.The book discusses practical therapies with traditional immunosuppressants, steroids and IVIg. It describes targeted therapies with monoclonal antibodies or fusion proteins against B cells , T cells, complement, and FcRn, discussing what happens when key factors related to neurological autoimmunity are inhibited. The book provides a “how- to- do” approach for each of the major autoimmune diseases with algorithms and escalation therapies. Dedicated chapters will cover current therapies on encephalitis, NMOSD, Multiple sclerosis , autoimmune neuropathies, myopathies, neuromuscular junction disorders and neuroexcitability disorders like stiff person syndrome. The book is aimed for practitioners and academicians as a reliable and comprehensive source for applying neuroimmunotherapies and understanding their mechanisms.
