      Insulin Resistance as a Risk Factor in Visceral and Neurological Disorders provides an overview on the risk factors for insulin resistance in visceral and neurological disorders. The book focuses on molecular mechanisms and signal transduction processes associated with the links. The comprehensive information in this monograph will not only help in the early detection of insulin resistance related visceral and neurological disorders, but also promote the discovery of new drugs which may block or delay onset in elderly patients. Understanding these processes is important not only for patients, caregivers and health professionals, but also for health policymakers who must plan for national resources.

      Over the last 18 years, there have been many advances in the field of intraoperative monitoring. This new edition of Neurophysiology in Neurosurgery: A Modern Approach provides updates on the original techniques, as well as other more recent methodologies that may either prove beneficial or are commonly used in neuromonitoring. The purpose of this book is to describe the integration of neuromonitoring with surgical procedures. Each methodology is discussed in detail as well as chapters describing how those methodologies are applied to multiple surgical procedures and the evidence used to support those uses. The second edition features a surgical procedure section, which focuses on specific surgical procedures and the type of monitoring used during these procedures. The original chapters have been updated, expanded, and the structure modified to ensure the book is beneficial to both physiologists and surgeons. This book is written for neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, neurologists, anesthesiologists, interventional neuroradiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and plastic surgeons.

      La maladie de Parkinson est, après la maladie d’Alzheimer, l’affection neurologique la plus répandue au sein de la population après 50 ans. Sa prévalence augmentant avec l’âge, surtout au-delà de 60 ans, on peut prévoir qu’avec le vieillissement de la population, le nombre de patients ne cessera d’augmenter dans les années à venir.La quatrième édition de cet ouvrage, entièrement en couleurs, consacrée à la maladie de Parkinson, rend compte de façon didactique des avancées de ces cinq dernières années, en abordant de façon exhaustive tous les aspects de cette pathologie : l’épidémiologie, l’étiopathogénie, les aspects génétiques, la physiopathologie, les signes moteurs et non moteurs, notamment les troubles cognitifs, psychiques et comportementaux. Un nouveau chapitre dédié aux apports des nouvelles technologies, notamment les enregistrements électrophysiologique... intracérébraux, l’évaluation neurophysiologique de la marche et du contrôle postural ou encore l’actimétrie, vient compléter cette monographie. Le chapitre consacré à la neuropathologie et la physiopathologie, est également entièrement augmenté et mis à jour avec l’approche de l’alpha-synucléine et l’évocation de la controverse autour de l’hypothèse d’un mécanisme de type prion. Les traitements de recours sont regroupés maintenant dans un chapitre spécifique et un nouveau chapitre est proposé sur les indications de la toxine botulique.Ce livre s’adresse aux praticiens et à tous les professionnels de santé, médicaux et paramédicaux, exerçant dans un service de neurologie ou concernés par la pathologie parkinsonienne : neurologues, internes préparant le diplôme d’études spécialisées de neurologie, neuropsychologues, psychiatres, rééducateurs, orthophonistes et kinésithérapeutes.

      Cognitive Biases in Health and Psychiatric Disorders: Neurophysiological Foundations focuses on the neurophysiological basis of biases in attention, interpretation, expectancy and memory. Each chapter includes a review of each specific bias, including both positive and negative information in both healthy individuals and psychiatric populations. This book provides readers with major theories, methods used in investigating biases, brain regions associated with the related bias, and autonomic responses to specific biases. Its end goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the neural, autonomic and cognitive mechanisms related to processing biases.

      Risk Factors for Psychosis: Paradigms, Mechanisms, and Prevention combines the related, but disparate research endeavors into a single text that considers all risk factors for psychosis, including biological, psychological and environmental factors. The book also introduces the ethics and current treatment evidence that attempts to ameliorate risk or reduce the number of individuals with risk factors developing a psychotic disorder. Finally, the book highlights new research paradigms that will further enhance the field in the future. Psychotic disorders affect more than 50 million people worldwide, creating a devastating effect on lives and causing major financial and emotional impact on families and on society as a whole. The search for risk factors for psychosis has developed rapidly over the past decades, invigorated by changes in the thinking about the malleability and treatability of psychotic disorders. The paradigms for investigating psychosis risk have developed, often in parallel, but there has been no book to date that has summarized and synthesized the current approaches.

      The Neuroscience of Meditation: Understanding Individual Differences explores the individual differences in learning and practicing meditation, while also providing insights on how to learn and practice effectively. The book comprehensively covers the research in brain areas and networks that mediate the positive effects of meditation upon physical and mental health. Though it examines how people differ in how they learn and practice meditation, it underscores how underlying mechanisms differ in learning and practicing meditation and how they remain unclear to researchers. This book addresses the research gap and explores the brain science behind meditation.
