  • Brain and Crime

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 197
    • Hanna Swaab + 1 more
    • English
    Brain and Crime, Volume 197 reviews the relation between brain function and aggressive and rule-breaking (criminal) behavior. The book's focus is on the violation of social rules and not on violation of regulations that are different in different counties. It discusses the development of this behavior from childhood into adulthood, along with the mechanisms associated with the risk for aggression and rule-breaking behavior. In addition, it explores from a behavioral level concepts like psychopathology, syndrome and concepts from law, such as crime, defendant and offender. Finally, sections explore brain function, including emotion, cognitive processes, and decision-making. From the perspective of brain structure, the book covers brain networks and brain disorders. In genetics, the book includes the influence of genes and the mechanisms of epigenetics. All chapters are intended to provide information for use in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, and in assessment and prevention.

  • Brain Responses to Auditory Mismatch and Novelty Detection

    Predictive Coding from Cocktail Parties to Auditory-Related Disorders
    • 1st Edition
    • Jos J. Eggermont
    • English
    Brain Responses to Auditory Mismatch and Novelty Detection: Predictive Coding from Cocktail Parties to Auditory-Related Disorders provides the connections between changes in the ‘error-generating network’ and disorder-specific changes while also exploring its diagnostic properties. The book allows the reader to appreciate the outcomes of predictive coding theory in fields of auditory streaming (including the cocktail-party effect) and psychiatric disorders with an auditory component. These include mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s disease, attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia and the cognitive aspects of Parkinson’s disease. The book combines animal experiments on adaptation, human auditory evoked potentials, including MMN and their maturational, as well as aging aspects into one comprehensive resource.
