Autophagy Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia provides an overview for researchers and clinicians on the mechanisms involved in protein degradation in Alzheimer’s. The book discusses the implication of autophagy dysfunction in these diseases and how it causes degenerated proteins, including aggregated tau and aggregated amyloid protein. Other sections explores the possibilities of potential drug development through autophagy modulation, making this a great resource on the study of how autophagy dysfunction has been linked to the accumulation of misfolded proteins that cause death of neurons in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Marijuana is the most commonly used psychotropic drug in the United States, after alcohol. With the legalization and decriminalization of cannabis, momentum continues to build and propelled by the reduction of stigma associated to its consumption, there is growing concern regarding the long-term impact on brain function and behavior. Cannabis and the Developing Brain aims to provide comprehensive research on the effects of cannabis during neurodevelopment stages (i.e., perinatal and adolescent ages). This book introduces readers to vivo neural circuits, molecular and cellular mechanisms affected by cannabis exposure during three different temporal windows of brain vulnerability. Second, it offers a unique insight to shared neurobiological features of cannabinoid exposure during different developmental periods. Lastly, Cannabis and the Developing Brain determines the adverse impact of developmental cannabinoid exposure on specific cognition, emotion and behaviors.

L'Adulte avec un trouble dys-exécutif

Les recommandations pour la prise en charge du trouble dys-exécutif s’adressent à l’enfant, afin de faciliter son éducation et sa scolarité. Le trouble s’améliore parfois avec l’avancée en âge, mais il reste très présent à l’âge adulte. Se pose alors la question de l’autonomie au quotidien en termes de professionnalisation, d’insertion sociale et de citoyenneté pour laquelle l’entourage doit souvent développer ses propres outils car rien n’est formalisé pour accompagner l’adulte.L’ouvrage aborde les différentes situations rencontrées par l’adulte dys-exécutif, des plus anodines de la vie quotidienne aux plus personnelles ou aux plus décisives quant à son style de vie, et propose des solutions pratiques et des conseils d’adaptation ou d’aménagements pour y faire face.Plus que chez l’enfant, les stratégies proposées pour aider l’adulte dys-exécutif dans sa prise d’autonomie sont pensées pour ménager sa personnalité et son libre arbitre.La description des différentes situations intègre à la fois le vécu de l’adulte dys-exécutif et celui d’autrui, en mettant l’accent sur les quiproquos et des interprétations erronées en fonction du contexte qui peuvent générer incompréhension et perte d’estime de soi.L’ouvrage interroge chacun, qu’il soit parent ou professionnel, sur ce que signifie réellement l’inclusion dans un environnement qui n’a pas les clés pour appréhender correctement les interactions avec l’adulte dys-exécutif, la définition de son projet de vie et le respect de sa volonté.

The Temporal Lobe, Volume 187 covers the exponential growth of studies on the relationships between brain and language/cognition, many of which involved the temporal lobe. This volume summarizes research on the anatomy and function of the temporal lobe under both normal and pathological conditions. In addition, it discusses the interactions of the temporal lobe with other brain structures. The book highlights the role of the temporal lobe in language processing as well as vision, object, face recognition and processing. The book also discusses the temporal lobe's role in reading, speech and the processing of color, music, action and memory. Temporal lobe disorders, assessments and treatments are also covered, including encephalitis, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, Korsakov’s syndrome, and more.
