    • 1st Edition
    • Haiganoosh Whitaker + 1 more
    • English
    Studies in Neurolinguistics, Volume 3 presents detailed case histories, multi-subject experimental studies, literature reviews, and research papers that employ a variety of experimental and observational techniques. This volume contains seven chapters that focus on a wide range of research in the field of neurolinguistics. Chapter 1 discusses the various approaches to the problem of auditory comprehension in aphasia. A survey of the world's literature on bilingualism and aphasia is provided in chapter 2. The third chapter examines the different models and explanations for conduction aphasia. Chapter 4 provides a synthesis of the anatomic, physiologic, and behavioral research on the role of the limbic system in human communication. Chapter 5 presents a model of individual differences in hemispheric functioning, in which a number of theories about the left and right hemispheres are analyzed and compared. Chapter 6 shows how different levels of language are revealed. The last chapter addresses "The Question of Electrophysiological Asymmetries Preceding Speech" in a study of the readiness potentials over the motor and premotor regions in eight subjects. Linguists, psychologists, and neurologists will find the book highly informative.

    Peripheral Neuropathies compiles lectures presented at the Symposium on Peripheral Neuropathies held in Milan, Italy on June 26-28, 1978. This book covers the basic problems in peripheral nerve pathology; axonal transport; neuropathies in chronic renal failure; peripheral neuropathies in diabetes; compression neuropathies; and metabolic, genetic, and inflammatory neuropathies. This text also discusses topics such as filamentous inclusions in Schwann cell nuclei; autonomie dysfunction and myokymia in gold neuropathy; study of the effect of gangliosides on experimental carbon disulfide neuropathy; and peripheral nerve changes in Refsum's disease before and after treatment. This compilation is a useful source of information for students and researchers conducting investigative work on peripheral neuropathy.

  • Nervous System Theory

    An Introductory Study
    • 1st Edition
    • K. N. Leibovic
    • English
    Nervous System Theory: An Introductory Study focuses on the nervous system theory, stressing the means for understanding the nature of the biological system rather than the elaboration of mathematical theories. This book begins with a discussion on single-cell responses, followed by a discussion of sensory information processing that leads into models of perceptual processes and their possible neural bases. This text concludes with some general principles and theoretical investigations relating to units that make up a nervous system, through a sensory pathway and central structures. The peripheral stimuli that explain the operations of the brain are also described. This publication is a good reference for neurologists, medical practitioners, and researchers conducting work on the nervous system theory.

  • Topical Reviews in Neurosurgery

    Volume 1
    • 1st Edition
    • J. M. Rice Edwards
    • English
    Topical Reviews in Neurosurgery, Volume 1 focuses on neurosurgery, a medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders that affect any portion of the nervous system. This book discusses the advances in computed tomography, vascular surgery in neurological disorders, and carotid endarterectomy. The extracranial-intracr... anastomosis, etiology of chronic subdural hematoma, radical surgery in the treatment of craniopharyngiomas, and syringomyelia are also covered. Other topics include the sensory neural deafness; aneurysmal hemorrhage; detection of carotid stenosis; bypass procedures; and completed stroke in the carotid territory. This publication likewise considers the middle cerebral aneurysms; cell kinetics of glioma; and pathophysiology of enlargement of chronic subdural hematomas. This publication is a good source for neurosurgeons and medical students interested in neurosurgery.

  • Methods in Behavioral Pharmacology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 10
    • F. van Haaren
    • English
    Methods in Behavioral Pharmacology is unique in offering a complete description and critical evaluation of most, if not all, methods available to study the effects of drugs on behavior. It stands apart in that it is not limited to the analysis of a particular class of pharmacological agents in a limited number of paradigms. Methods in Behavioral Pharmacology covers all paradigms without reference to specific pharmacological compounds.The book provides a comprehensive overview of the methodology used to study the behavioral effects of legal and illegal drugs. It also provides an in-depth presentation of dependent variables, their quantification and a critical evaluation of their advantages and disadvantages. An excellent work, contributed to by well-known experts in the different fields of behavioral pharmacology.

  • Using Secondary Datasets to Understand Persons with Developmental Disabilities and their Families

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 45
    • English
    International Review of Research in Developmental Disabilities is an ongoing scholarly look at research into the causes, effects, classification systems, syndromes, etc. of developmental disabilities. Contributors come from wide-ranging perspectives, including genetics, psychology, education, and other health and behavioral sciences.

  • Readings in Cognitive Science

    A Perspective from Psychology and Artificial Intelligence
    • 1st Edition
    • Allan Collins + 1 more
    • English
    Readings in Cognitive Science: A Perspective from Psychology and Artificial Intelligence brings together important studies that fall in the intersection between artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. This book is composed of six chapters, and begins with the complex anatomy and physiology of the human brain. The next chapters deal with the components of cognitive science, such as the semantic memory, similarity and analogy, and learning. These chapters also consider the application of mental models, which represent the domain-specific knowledge needed to understand a dynamic system or natural physical phenomena. The remaining chapters discuss the concept of reasoning, problem solving, planning, vision, and imagery. This book is of value to psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and researchers who are interested in cognition.
