L’imagerie constitue l’outil diagnostic indispensable dans la prise en charge des accidents vasculaires cérébraux (AVC), problème majeur de santé public. Elle permet d’orienter vers des choix thérapeutiques qui réduisent efficacement les risques de mortalité et de handicap.Conçu comme une méthode pratique qui regroupe l’ensemble des notions indispensables à la prise en charge d’un patient présentant un AVC, cet ouvrage se veut résolument pédagogique. Constitué d’une vingtaine de dossiers cliniques illustrés par une abondante iconographie, il propose au lecteur une démarche innovante en l’invitant à se confronter à des difficultés graduelles au fil des dossiers. Si l’apprentissage de l’imagerie est au coeur de ce livre, il aborde en complémentaritél’épi... la physiopathologie, l’anatomie, la clinique et la prise en charge thérapeutique.Cette démarche originale de graduation des connaissances et la structure des dossiers font de cet ouvrage un outil indispensable pour tous les professionnels, internes et praticiens, confrontés à la prise en charge des AVC. L’ouvrage s’adresse ainsi à un large public de médecins : radiologues, neurologues eturgentistes ou tout professionnel soucieux d’actualiser ou approfondir ses connaissances sur l’imagerie de l’AVC. Il favorise l’auto-apprentissage des uns et l’aide à la décision des autres.Jean-Philippe Cottier est professeur des universités, praticien hospitalier, au sein du service de radiologie-neuroradi... diagnostique et interventionnelle au CHRU de Tours.Valentin Lefèvre est chef de clinique des universités, assistant des hôpitaux, au sein du service de radiologie-neuroradi... diagnostique et interventionnelle au CHRU de Tours.

The Auditory Cerebellum: Function and Dysfunction focuses on the sensory and cognitive aspects of the cerebellum, with an emphasis on hearing, speech, music, speaking, and singing. This book fills the gap for information needed in audiology and auditory neuroscience, tinnitus, and developmental disorders with a strong auditory component. This book starts with a general overview on the connectivity between the cerebellum and auditory subcortical and cortical areas, including general cortical networks. There are several chapters devoted to the timing aspects of the cerebellum underlying speech and music perception as well as motor aspects in speaking and singing.Also discussed is the role of the cerebellum in hearing impairment, tinnitus, developmental disorders with a strong auditory component, including dyslexia, autism, attention deficit, and hyperactivity disorder. Dr. Jos Eggermont, a leading researcher in the field, uses a systems analysis approach that covers electrophysiology and neural imaging, both in animals and humans.

Circadian rhythms, sleep, and sleep disorders covers the topic in two sections focusing on basic science and clinical application. In the basic section, new developments and research findings focusing on basic circadian rhythm and sleep physiology in animals and humans is highlighted. The chapters are written in short mini-review formats in order to concisely describe the fundamentals, and current hot topics.The basic part starts with a chapter on the fundamentals and new discoveries on oscillating circuitries in the sleeping rodent and human brain. This sets the stage for chap 2, focusing on circadian and homeostatic aspects of human sleep regulation. Chap 3 extends these aspects to human cognition. The next chapter reports on visual and non-visual effects of light on human behavior, particularly endocrine and electrophysiological correlates. Chap 5 covers chronic sleep restriction effects on functional connectivity states. The last two chapters (6 and 7) give a broad overview on sleep modeling across physiological levels, with a focus on a quantitative model of sleep-wake dynamics based on the physiology of the brainstem ascending arousal system.The clinical section of the book describes the circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, from epidemiology to clinical picture and treatment. Disorders covered include delayed and advanced sleep phase syndrome, Irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder, shift work disorder, restless legs syndrome, nocturnal eating syndrome, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments of insomnia are explored, as well as the role of sleep-wake modulation in the pathogenesis and clinical profile of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

Neurobiology of Infectious Diseases covers mechanisms underlying infectious diseases. It is divided into six distinct sections, beginning with the foundations of Neuroinfection. This section includes chapters on the role microbiota-gut-brain axis and specialized blood-neuronal barriers play in neurobiology of infectious diseases. The next three sections detail various bacterial infections, parasitic infections, viral infections, and fungal infections of the central nervous system. The last section reviews the proteins and other peripheral mediators that affect the central nervous system. Internationally contributed by experts in the field this book sets the foundation of neurobiology and infectious disease.Neurobiology is the study of cells of the nervous system and the organization of these cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior. Current research is vital for determining pharmaceutical and medicinal treatments for neurological disorders, psychiatric disorders and diseases.
