Circadian rhythms, sleep, and sleep disorders covers the topic in two sections focusing on basic science and clinical application. In the basic section, new developments and research findings focusing on basic circadian rhythm and sleep physiology in animals and humans is highlighted. The chapters are written in short mini-review formats in order to concisely describe the fundamentals, and current hot topics.The basic part starts with a chapter on the fundamentals and new discoveries on oscillating circuitries in the sleeping rodent and human brain. This sets the stage for chap 2, focusing on circadian and homeostatic aspects of human sleep regulation. Chap 3 extends these aspects to human cognition. The next chapter reports on visual and non-visual effects of light on human behavior, particularly endocrine and electrophysiological correlates. Chap 5 covers chronic sleep restriction effects on functional connectivity states. The last two chapters (6 and 7) give a broad overview on sleep modeling across physiological levels, with a focus on a quantitative model of sleep-wake dynamics based on the physiology of the brainstem ascending arousal system.The clinical section of the book describes the circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, from epidemiology to clinical picture and treatment. Disorders covered include delayed and advanced sleep phase syndrome, Irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder, shift work disorder, restless legs syndrome, nocturnal eating syndrome, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments of insomnia are explored, as well as the role of sleep-wake modulation in the pathogenesis and clinical profile of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

Neurobiology of Infectious Diseases covers mechanisms underlying infectious diseases. It is divided into six distinct sections, beginning with the foundations of Neuroinfection. This section includes chapters on the role microbiota-gut-brain axis and specialized blood-neuronal barriers play in neurobiology of infectious diseases. The next three sections detail various bacterial infections, parasitic infections, viral infections, and fungal infections of the central nervous system. The last section reviews the proteins and other peripheral mediators that affect the central nervous system. Internationally contributed by experts in the field this book sets the foundation of neurobiology and infectious disease.Neurobiology is the study of cells of the nervous system and the organization of these cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior. Current research is vital for determining pharmaceutical and medicinal treatments for neurological disorders, psychiatric disorders and diseases.

Handbook of Neurodegenerative Disorders: Mechanism, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Advances provides a comprehensive review on the current biomedical studies aimed at identifying the underlying causes of neurodegeneration. This book reviews the most recent developments in molecular and cellular processes altered during neurodegeneration. Divided into four parts, the first covers the mechanism of cell death in neurodegeneration. The second section reviews the recent progress in gene and gene products in neurodegeneration, including Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, Friedreich' s ataxia, and spinal muscular atrophy. The final sections cover the current and future diagnostic techniques of neurodegenerative disorders along with therapeutic approaches.

In the complex realm of our physiology, the vagus nerve stands as a silent orchestrator, influencing health and disease in ways that have long been underestimated. Vagus Nerve Stimulation delves into the profound significance of this 10th cranial nerve, tracing its course through the body and illuminating its role as a vital component of the parasympathetic nervous system.This comprehensive reference, contributed by leading experts at the forefront of medical science, unveils the groundbreaking field of vagus nerve stimulation—a non-invasive approach to harness the body's innate potential for health optimization, inflammation control, and disease modification. Contributed by leading experts in the field, this comprehensive volume serves as a compendium of current knowledge about stimulating the vagus nerve in many different disease states. This book starts with the foundational insights in Basic Science and Technical Considerations. From there, it continues to Neurologic Conditions, where chapters explore applications for epilepsy, cluster headaches, and concussions. Evolving Therapy for Neurologic Conditions introduces cutting-edge treatments for acute ischemic stroke, synaptic plasticity, and neurodegenerative disorders. The book extends into Psychiatric and Somatic Conditions, providing insights into anxiety, depression, addiction disorders, and more. Conventional Inflammatory Conditions shed light on vagus nerve stimulation's role in combatting sepsis, immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, and metabolic syndrome, among others. Concluding with a foray into Oncology, the book highlights the potential of vagus nerve stimulation in addressing the lingering effects of long covid and migraine. With an authoritative blend of scientific rigor and practical application, this reference serves as an indispensable guide to the vast landscape of vagus nerve stimulation, transforming our understanding of health and wellness.
