  • Brain Lipids in Synaptic Function and Neurological Disease

    Clues to Innovative Therapeutic Strategies for Brain Disorders
    • 1st Edition
    • Jacques Fantini + 1 more
    • English
    Lipids are the most abundant organic compounds found in the brain, accounting for up to 50% of its dry weight. The brain lipidome includes several thousands of distinct biochemical structures whose expression may greatly vary according to age, gender, brain region, cell type, as well as subcellular localization. In synaptic membranes, brain lipids specifically interact with neurotransmitter receptors and control their activity. Moreover, brain lipids play a key role in the generation and neurotoxicity of amyloidogenic proteins involved in the pathophysiology of neurological diseases. The aim of this book is to provide for the first time a comprehensive overview of brain lipid structures, and to explain the roles of these lipids in synaptic function, and in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Creutzfeldt-Jakob’s and Parkinson’s. To conclude the book, the authors present new ideas that can drive innovative therapeutic strategies based on the knowledge of the role of lipids in brain disorders.

  • Image-Guided Neurosurgery

    • 1st Edition
    • Alexandra J. Golby
    • English
    Image-Guided Neurosurgery provides readers with an update on the revolutionary improvements in imaging and visualization relating to neurosurgery. From the development of the pneumoencephalogram, to the operating microscope, to cross sectional imaging with CT and later MRI, to stereotaxy and neuronavigation, the ability to visualize the pathology and surrounding neural structures has been the driving factor leading surgical innovation and improved outcomes. The book provides a comprehensive reference on the application of contemporary imaging technologies used in neurosurgery. Specific techniques discussed include brain biopsies, brain tumor resection, deep brain stimulation, and more. The book is ideal for neurosurgeons, interventional radiologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and radiologists, as well as technical experts in imaging, image analysis, computer science, and biomedical engineering.

  • Waking and the Reticular Activating System in Health and Disease

    • 1st Edition
    • Edgar Garcia-Rill
    • English
    Waking and the Reticular Activating System in Health and Disease provides a comprehensive overview on the “activating” properties of the RAS. In health, the RAS provides the basis against which we assess the external world, and in disease it distorts that world and shatters our self-image. This book describes the physiology of each process, how it is disturbed in each disorder, and what the most appropriate treatment should be. Dr. Garcia-Rill, along with contributions from leading specialists, discusses the understanding of the RAS as a system not only modulating waking, but also in charge of survival mechanisms such as fight vs flight responses and reflexes. The full spectrum of these functions helps explain the complexity of symptoms evident in such disorders as disparate as schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease. The book reviews the mechanisms that control waking and arousal, and especially how those mechanisms malfunction in certain neurological and psychiatric disorders.

  • La maladie de Parkinson

    • Luc Defebvre + 1 more
    • French
    La maladie de Parkinson est, après la maladie d'Alzheimer, l'affection neurologique la plus répandue au sein de la population après 50 ans. Elle touche près de 2 % des personnes de plus de 65 ans. Ce pourcentage augmentant avec l'âge, on peut prévoir qu'avec le vieillissement de la population, le nombre de patients ne cessera d'augmenter dans les années à venir. La troisième 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. De nouveaux chapitres dédiés aux troubles psychiatriques et du comportement, à l'éducation thérapeutique, les biothérapies, la neuropathologie et la procédure de reconnaissance comme maladie professionnelle viennent compléter cette monographie. Dans cet ouvrage, sont également mis à jour les critères diagnostiques, les échelles et questionnaires d'évaluation, la place de l'imagerie morphologique et fonctionnelle enfin les stratégies thérapeutiques actuelles : médicamenteuses, chirurgicales, rééducatives et orthophoniques.
