    • Magisetty Obulesu
    • English
    Parkinson’s Disease Therapeutics: Emphasis on Nanotechnological Advances presents the latest information on the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly. Despite remarkable progress in various PD therapeutics, such as microRNAs and brain drug delivery systems, a few limitations impede their success. This book sheds light on the pros and cons of recently developed novel therapeutics. Very few books have highlighted the protective efficacy of natural products, antioxidants, and biomaterial design for other diseases.

  • Handbook of the Behavioral Neurobiology of Serotonin

    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 31
    • January 21, 2020
    • English
    Handbook of the Behavioral Neurobiology of Serotonin, Second Edition, builds on the success of the first edition by continuing to provide a detailed and comprehensive overview of the many facets of behavioral serotonin research. The text expands on the two key topics, behavioral control (sensory processing, ultrasonic vocalization, and melatonin and sleep control) and psychiatric disorders, including its role on psychostimulant abuse and addiction. The new edition includes two new sections on the serotonin systems interactions and the involvement of serotonin in neurological disorders and associated treatment. Serotonin is a major neurotransmitters in the serotonergic system which one of the best studied and understood transmitter systems. Both are critically involved in the organization of all behaviors and in the regulation of emotion and mood.

  • The Neuromodulation Casebook

    • 1st Edition
    • January 18, 2020
    • Jeffrey Arle
    • English
    The Neuromodulation Casebook is a case-based volume for practical, hands-on decision-making using realistic case examples from the field of neuromodulation. It encompasses a variety of techniques and therapies, ranging from deep brain stimulation for a multitude of disorders, to spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, cortical stimulation and cranial nerve stimulation, as well as non-invasive therapies and other implanted types of devices that interface with the nervous system. Allowing readers to better learn via case-based examples, this practical volume depicts real examples of decisions neuroscientists and neurosurgeons need to make every day from leaders in the field. This book serves as a companion text to the editor’s previous titles Essential Neuromodulation and Innovative Neuromodulation for neuroscience, neural engineering and biomedical engineering courses.

  • Neurological Modulation of Sleep

    Mechanisms and Function of Sleep Health
    • 1st Edition
    • January 15, 2020
    • Ronald Ross Watson + 1 more
    • English
    Neurological Modulation of Sleep provides readers with updated scientific reviews regarding the interaction between sleep and contributing factors, with special attention paid to the potential for neurological modulation of sleep via diet. This book expands the notion of diet and adds an element of physical activity and exercise as well as a chapter on caffeine and its effects on sleep. With 30+ international contributors, this book aims to provide readers with a unique global perspective on the role these factors plays in sleep architecture and its regulation by circadian biology and neurology. Sleep disorders have become an increasing problem plaguing more than 70 million Americans according to the American Sleep Association. There is a clear association between sleep disorder and a wide range of other human disorders –performance deficiencies, psychiatric illnesses, heart disease, obesity and more – but in spite of this there is not yet a convenient overview on the market detailing the impact of obesity, age, diabetes and diet on sleep duration and attendant health outcomes.

  • Neuroimaging Atlas of the Human Brain

    MRI, DTI, and Histology
    • 1st Edition
    • January 1, 2020
    • Jacopo Annese
    • English
    The field of human brain mapping is exhibiting an increased focus on the study of neural functional architecture at the system level and on individual neurological characteristics. rather than pm population-based averages. This new direction has resulted in a need for a new brain atlas that incorporates correlated radiologic and histological images representing the whole brain. Initiatives such as the Human Connectome Project are based on non-invasive techniques that afford images of the brain only at the macroscopic level, creating a growing need for an atlas that provides histological images of entire (coronal) sections that can then be easily compared to corresponding MRI and DTI images, making the correlation across modalities direct and intuitive. Neuroimaging Atlas of the Human Brain: MRI, DTI, and Histology is just such an atlas, representing the first market offering of histologic, radiologic, and labeled anatomical images of the same, entire human brain.
