      L’ouvrage• Devenu un « classique » dès sa première édition, l’Abrégé de neurologie présente, de façon claire, pratique et complète, les troubles neurologiques selon une approche sémiologique en s’appuyant sur l’anatomie et la physiologie et en intégrant les nouvelles connaissances apportées par la neuropsychologie et la neurogénétique. L’ouvrage décrit les affections neurologiques les plus fréquentes et propose une stratégie pour le diagnostic neurologique à la lumière de l’imagerie médicale et des explorations électrophysiologique... et métaboliques.• Cette 14e édition est entièrement revue et actualisée, en fonction notamment des évolutions des thérapeutiques et des méthodes diagnostiques. La structure de l’ouvrage a également été révisée, pour une meilleure lisibilité, en tenant compte des développements de certains sujets, et l’ajout de nouveaux chapitres : « Cervelet – Ataxies cérébelleuses », « Mouvements anormaux » et « Émotion, motivation, comportement et cognition ».• Cette nouvelle édition présente ainsi les connaissances actuelles en neurologie tout en conservant l’approche qui a fait la réputation de cet ouvrage : la place donnée la neurologie clinique et l’intégration de la sémiologie dans l’organisation structurelle et physiologique du système nerveux, dans le souci de les rendre compréhensibles pour tous.Le publicCet abrégé s’adresse aux étudiants de 2e et 3e cycles de médecine. Il intéressera également les neurologues et tous les praticiens confrontés à des symptômes ou à des troubles neurologiques.Les auteursJean Cambier † était membre de l’Académie de médecine et professeur de clinique neurologique.Maurice Masson est neurologue, professeur des universités.Catherin...

      Radiomics and Radiogenomics in Neuro-Oncology: An Artificial Intelligence Paradigm, Volume One: Radiogenomics Flow Using Artificial Intelligence broadly encompasses the study of life-threatening brain and spinal cord malignancies, including primary lesions and those metastasizing to the central nervous system. Radiomics is an approach to medical imaging used to extract many quantitative imaging features using different data characterization algorithms, while radiogenomics, which has recently emerged as a novel mechanism in neuro-oncology research, focuses on the relationship of imaging phenotype and genetics of cancer. Sections in this book discuss several AI approaches that have been applied to conventional and advanced medical imaging data. These AI-based R-n-R tools have the potential to stratify patients into more precise initial diagnostic and therapeutic pathways and permit better dynamic treatment monitoring in this period of personalized medicine. While extremely promising, the clinical acceptance of R-n-R methods and approaches will primarily hinge on their resilience to non-standardization across imaging protocols and their capability to show reproducibility.

      From Brain Dynamics to the Mind: Spatiotemporal Neuroscience explores how the self and consciousness is related to neural events. Sections in the book cover existing models used to describe the mind/brain problem, recent research on brain mechanisms and processes and what they tell us about the self, consciousness and psychiatric disorders. The book presents a spatiotemporal approach to understanding the brain and the implications for artificial intelligence, novel therapies for psychiatric disorders, and for ethical, societal and philosophical issues. Pulling concepts from neuroscience, psychology and philosophy, the book presents a modern and complete look at what we know, what we can surmise, and what we may never know about the distinction between brain and mind.

      The goal for this special edition of Progress in Brain Research extends beyond merely probing the yet-to-be-uncovered links between physical exercise and cognitive improvement. We aim to advance our knowledge, pushing the envelope of what is currently understood. We are particularly focused on how purposefully structured physical activities, carefully chosen participant groups, and specific cognitive areas can optimize the cognitive and mental health benefits derived from physical exercise. The inaugural volume of this series introduces 3 review articles and 7 original pieces of research, encompassing both behavioral experiments and neuroimaging studies. Our focus is on experimental research that sheds light on the immediate and long-term impact of physical exercise on cognition as well as expert opinions and systematic reviews that compile current findings and suggest avenues for upcoming research.

      Paraneoplastic Neurological Disorders, Volume 200 covers new, recent descriptions of autoantibodies against neuronal cell surface antigens (only partly associated with paraneoplastic disorders) and the introduction of new immuno-oncological drugs that can contribute to diseases that are pathogenetically indistinguishable from paraneoplastic syndromes. Besides investigating the pathogenetic mechanisms of these disorders, this book also explores what the introduction of new drugs used in immune checkpoint inhibitor cancer therapy are teaching us in terms of immunopathogenesis. Following sections present individual syndromes (phenotypical clinical manifestations) of the CNS, PNS, NMJ, and muscle.Finally, the book investigates the role of antibody markers that differentiate by cytoplasmic, nuclear, and neuronal cell surface reactivities. Side effects of the new immuno-oncological drugs increasingly used in cancer therapy are also covered.

      Texto eminentemente docente para el período de formación de grado y, sobre todo, para los residentes que van a especializarse en Neurología. Especialistas en otras disciplinas, como medicina interna, psiquiatría y neurocirugía, entre otras, pueden encontrar en este libro un libro de referencia y de consulta. Mantiene su estructura básica, con los primeros 14 capítulos destinados las bases del diagnóstico clínico, los fundamentos de las exploraciones complementarias, y los grandes síndromes o trastornos neurológicos. Las cefaleas, el dolor y los trastornos de la consciencia forman también parte de estos primeros capítulos. Los siguientes 15 capítulos se ocupan de las entidades nosológicas (enfermedades infecciosas o vasculares, epilepsias, las que cursan con movimientos anormales, los tumores, las enfermedades desmielinizantes o las neurodegenerativas que afectan a las motoneuronas, a los sistemas espinocerebelosos o las que culminan con deterioro cognitivo y demencia). Se cierra con tres capítulos dedicados a la neurogenética, los mecanismos de la neurodegeneración (en un capítulo nuevo) y la bioética en neurología. El texto ha sido revisado y actualizado con la adición de nuevas figuras, tablas y algoritmos de diagnóstico, y se ha puesto al día la bibliografía. El material online, además de contar también con nuevas figuras, tablas y algoritmos de diagnóstico, se ha ampliado con nuevos casos clínicos para el razonamiento del problema, más vídeos de semiología y preguntas de autoevaluación.

      Huntington's disease (HD) is one of the most common dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by a clinical triad of movement disorder, cognitive deficits, and psychiatric symptoms. Huntington’s Disease: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Implications for Therapeutics reviews the most up-do-date content on HD pathogenic mechanisms and cutting-edge thinking on therapeutic strategies for HD. Chapters explore areas that include the clinical features and genetic studies of HD, the cellular and molecular biology of normal huntingtin, a range of HD models, the diverse pathogenic mechanisms linked to mutant huntingtin, new approaches to HD pathogenesis, as well as emerging preclinical therapeutic approaches and clinical programs in the field.
