  • Psychophysics and Experimental Phenomenology of Pattern Cognition

    • 1st Edition
    • Jiro Hamada
    • English
    Psychophysics and Experimental Phenomenology of Pattern Cognition examines the cognitive transformations that underly this cognitive system and the specialized subsystems for processing these transformations. Sections cover symmetry cognition, contour perception and geometric illusion. Weight sensation is also discussed, as are repetitive and dot patterns. By incorporating elements of both psychophysics and experimental phenomenology, pattern cognition is examined from both the physical and mental sensory perspective, thus providing a comprehensive view of this cognitive system.

  • IRM pratique en neuroradiologie

    • 3rd Edition
    • Françoise Héran + 1 more
    • French
    La grande originalité de cet ouvrage, écrit pour aider la réalisation et l’interprétation des IRM neuroradiologiques, repose sur son approche sémiologique et thématique. Elle le distingue des livres classiques présentant les pathologies par rubriques séparées, obligeant le radiologue à savoir à l’avance à laquelle appartiennent les lésions.Ce livre facilite la compréhension des techniques avancées devenues usuelles, comme par exemple la perfusion, les angiographies dynamiques ou la spectro RM, séquences indispensables au bilan de nombreuses pathologies du système nerveux central.Facile à consulter, avec une iconographie riche et récente, il présente deux parties ; encéphale d’une part, moelle et rachis d’autre part, avec le même plan d’analyse :• comment réaliser une IRM ;• sémiologie élémentaire ;• orientation diagnostique en fonction des caractéristiques des images.En fin d’ouvrage, de courts chapitres regroupent les éléments indispensables à la connaissance des territoires vasculaires et de pathologies intéressantes soit par leur fréquence, comme les inflammations de la substance blanche, soit par leur relative complexité comme les maladies dégénératives, ou les affections rares du système nerveux central.Ce livre s’adresse aux radiologues généralistes, et aux neuroradiologues en formation, désireux d’apprendre la sémiologie IRM neuroradiologique et constitue un outil précieux du DPC. Les manipulateurs y trouveront de précieuses informations sur la réalisation pratique des examens. Il devrait intéresser aussi les cliniciens prescripteurs d’IRM du système nerveux central, en particulier neurologues et neurochirurgiens, qu’il aidera à mieux comprendre les images et les comptes-rendus.Pour cette 3ème édition, en plus du contenu et de l’iconographie entièrement actualisés avec les dernières recommandations des sociétés savantes, cet ouvrage s’accompagne d’une banque d’images en ligne qui vous permet de visualiser + de 900 iconographies.

    • 1st Edition
    • R. Thomas Boyd
    • English
    Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Health and Disease provides the latest information Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), which are involved in numerous diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and schizophrenia, and are important potential translational targets for treatment of these diseases, as well as therapy for addiction. This book focuses on the roles and function of nAChRs inside and outside of the nervous system, with an emphasis on translational implications and future prospects for the treatment of numerous disorders. This greater understanding of the basic neurobiology and clinical roles of nAChRs provides important insights for future clinical treatments of many major disorders.

  • MRI/DTI Atlas of the Human Brainstem in Transverse and Sagittal Planes

    • 1st Edition
    • George Paxinos + 5 more
    • English
    **Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Neuroscience**MRI/DT... Atlas of the Human Brainstem in Transverse and Sagittal Planes presents a detailed view of the human brainstem in DTI/MRI. It is the first ever MRI or histological atlas to present detailed diagrams of sagittal views of the brainstem. Presenting data of unprecedented quality, images are juxtaposed with detailed diagrams in the transverse and sagittal planes. The atlas features a 50 micron resolution for the GRE and 200 microns for the FAC and DWI, 8000 times higher than that seen in a clinical MRI and 1000 times higher than that seen in a clinical DTI scan, all based on one brain.This atlas is important for neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, pathologists, anatomists, neurophysiologists, radiologists, radiotherapists (e.g., for cyberknife guidance), and graduate students in neuroscience.

  • Precision Medicine in Neurodegenerative Disorders

    Part II
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 193
    • English
    Precision Medicine in Neurodegenerative Disorders, Part Two, Volume 193 in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology deals with the "How" in the reconfiguration of our approach to slow accelerated brain aging. The book rethinks animal models on which therapies are tested, outlines the progress and expected changes in biological subtyping efforts using lysosomal, endosomal, mitochondrial, immune dysregulation, and inflammatory mechanisms of disease pathophysiology, and the growing role of microbiome in shaping disease. The volume separates the potentially disease-modifying neurorescue and neurorestoration, (e.g., gene therapy and cell replacement therapy) from true precision "medicine"–matching biology with the mechanism of intervention of interest. Specific chapters are dedicated to the promise and challenges of extracellular vesicles for both diagnosis and treatment, the growing application of digital measures and other evaluations of clinical response, the nuts and bolts of novel adaptive clinical trial designs, and the regulatory changes needed to facilitate drug development for disease-modification purposes.

  • Precision Medicine in Neurodegenerative Disorders

    Part I
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 192
    • English
    Precision Medicine in Neurodegenerative Disorders, Part One, Volume 192 in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology deals with the "Why" in the approach to slow the progression of accelerated brain aging. This volume is intended to provide a scholarly background on the framework, basic science and conceptual pitfalls related to disease-modifying efforts in Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders. Among topics covered are different models of precision medicine, the lumping-versus-split... tension in biomarker development and therapeutics, and the rationale for replacing the convergence of the prevailing autopsy-based nosology of neurodegenerative diseases with the divergence of a systems biology approach to human diseases. Specific chapters are dedicated to the promise of genetic subtypes and the lessons in disease modification offered by the fields of oncology and cystic fibrosis that can be adapted to the field of neurodegeneration. Matching a biology-correcting therapy with those biologically suitable to benefit from such therapy represents the vision and mission of precision medicine, the highest level of personalized medicine.
