  • Epigenetic Mechanisms in Brain Physiology and Disorders

    • 1st Edition
    • Moshe Szyf + 1 more
    • English
    Epigenetic Mechanisms in Brain Physiology and Disorders 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 Brainstem

    • 1st Edition
    • English
    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.
