  • The Neural Control of Movement

    Model Systems and Tools to Study Locomotor Function
    • 1st Edition
    • Patrick J. Whelan + 1 more
    • English
    From speech to breathing to overt movement contractions of muscles are the only way other than sweating whereby we literally make a mark on the world. Locomotion is an essential part of this equation and exciting new developments are shedding light on the mechanisms underlying how this important behavior occurs. The Neural Control of Movement discusses these developments across a variety of species including man. The editors focus on highlighting the utility of different models from invertebrates to vertebrates. Each chapter discusses how new approaches in neuroscience are being used to dissect and control neural networks. An area of emphasis is on vertebrate motor networks and particularly the spinal cord. The spinal cord is unique because it has seen the use of genetic tools allowing the dissection of networks for over ten years. This book provides practical details on model systems, approaches, and analysis approaches related to movement control. This book is written for neuroscientists interested in movement control.

  • Neurology and Pregnancy

    Neuro-Obstetric Disorders
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 172
    • Eric A.P. Steegers + 2 more
    • English
    Neurology and Pregnancy provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary guide to best practices for research and practicing neurologists, as well as obstetricians and other specialists caring for women with an acute or chronic neurological disorder. The book encompasses preconception care, genetic counseling, pregnancy in patients with chronic neurological disorders, and acute pregnancy-related neurological complications. Postpartum care and complications, including lactation concerns, are also addressed, as well as the long-term effects of pregnancy and its complications on maternal brain health. Vol 1 summarizes the complex neurophysiological changes in pregnancy from a basic and translational science perspective. This includes neuroimaging, principles of neuro-obstetric critical care, and ethical and medicolegal concerns, describes normal fetal cerebral development and summarizes the management of the most common prenatal neurological diagnoses. Vol 2 focuses on chronic neurological conditions in pregnancy such as epilepsy, migraine, and multiple sclerosis, as well as acute neurological disorders including preeclampsia/ eclampsia, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, and CNS infections. Each chapter introduction includes data on epidemiology, when applicable. In discussing management, comments of safety profiles of medications preconceptionally, during pregnancy and lactation are summarized. Each chapter includes 1-2 illustrative cases.

  • Repérage précoce des signes d'appel de dys

    Un outil pour l'école maternelle : principes, analyse et préconisations
    • 1st Edition
    • Alain Moret
    • French
    Ce livre se propose de répondre aux problèmes rencontrés par les différents professionnels (de l’éducation, de la santé, de la rééducation), face aux enfants dys (ou TSLA). Il vise à associer les médecins scolaires et les professionnels de la rééducation, en lien avec les enseignants, à la conception et/ou à la diffusion d’outils du type de celui proposé dans l’ouvrage pour, non pas poser un diagnostic, mais repérer le plus tôt possible ce qui pourrait annoncer un dys et qui mériterait donc d’être surveillé, le repérage précoce d’un éventuel trouble dys étant essentiel pour une prise en charge précoce du trouble et pour une intégration réussie de l’enfant. L’ouvrage Cet ouvrage propose des éléments concrets d’observation et d’analyse pour repérer les signes d’appel des troubles dys chez les jeunes enfants. Il initie notamment à l’utilisation d’un questionnaire de repérage des troubles conçu par l’auteur et validé auprès d’enseignants spécialisés. Commenté, enrichi d’exemples et téléchargeable en ligne, il deviendra rapidement un outil indispensable qui accompagnera les professionnels de l’enfance dans leur pratique pour repérer les troubles dys, mais également pour contribuer au bon développement de chaque enfant.
