A Researcher's Guide to Rodent Behavior: Experimental Designs, Methods and Protocols, Volume 32 provides a comprehensive guide to all forms of behavioral processes found in mice, rats and other rodents used in behavioral and cognitive research. Sections discuss basic skills necessary for successful rodent behavior research, including experimental design, animal selection, building any necessary apparatus, ethical considerations and interpretation of results. The book provides useful guidance for researchers at all stages of their careers, including a detailed description of how to perform stereotaxic surgery on the rat or mouse brain, advice on how to non-appetitively motivate rodents, and more. Most significantly, the book contains 35 proven, clearly defined protocols to aid readers in their research, making it one of the few books available that provides a collection of such protocols in a single publication. The cognitive, motor, sensory, affective, and species-typical protocols are profusely illustrated with full-color photographs from the author’s own research, to help readers more fully understand the studies and methods discussed in the text and provide further instruction on the ideal ways to re-create research projects themselves.

Microstructure with Magnetic Resonance

1st Edition
Volume TBD

Valerij G. Kiselev + 1 more
English

Microstructure with Magnetic Resonance: Problems and Solutions responds to the challenge of how to see the invisible with magnetic resonance imaging. Technically, the goal is to quantify cellular-level properties of biological tissues and microarchitecture of porous media orders of magnitude below the achievable resolution of MR. While the interest in this area has grown exponentially, current research involves physics outside the scope of standard NMR and MRI textbooks. Microstructure with Magnetic Resonance: Problems and Solutions introduces readers to methods of describing complex media in statistical terms, and covers the effects of complex microenvironments on the MR signal phase, on the transverse relaxation, and on different facets of the diffusion-weighted signal.The book presents the material as a set of problems with detailed solutions, that build on each other, stimulating a hands-on approach to learning. Each chapter begins with a short introduction to the topic, followed by problems, solutions, and a summary of key points. The problems start from the basics, and bring the reader step-by-step to the frontier of current knowledge. The overall focus is on gaining physical insight, by drawing on simple physical analogies and dimensional analysis, which help to reproduce the essence of the results obtained in classical and recent studies. The necessary mathematics is collected in dedicated appendices.With this book the reader will:• Understand the classic and current literature on microstructure mapping with NMR and MRI• Become familiar with the modern trends in microstructure MR• Be able to design new experiments using MR based on a solid theoretical foundation

Readers will attain a full understanding of the contemporary systems to evaluate the future potential of fNIRS and modern BCI systems and formulate new ideas for using AI in academic and Industry settings. The book begins with an Introduction and Overview chapter, then proceeds to Section I on fNIRS Imaging. Section II provides a complete and detailed look at Brain-Computer Interface, which leads to the final Section III of the book on Affective AI, Neuroergonomics and BCI. The book covers topics such as optical neuroimaging, BCI and AI methodologies, history and evaluation with time, development, variants, applications, and state of the art developments. Basic science behind Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), how it works and latest trends in BCI are covered, along with how the neuroimaging methodologies are used in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) with various stages of development and modern applications. The role of Affective Artificial Intelligence (A-AI) in the development of new BCI technologies will be discussed. Dr. Asgher explains how Affective Computing and Artificial Intelligence are entering new dimensions of emotional recognition and how these are being applied in BCI communication and systems.

Multimodal Neuroimaging

1st Edition
December 1, 2099
Peter J. Molfese
English

Understanding the brain began with black-box psychological experiments seeking to understand basic inputs and outputs. As technology has advanced, neuroimaging techniques have developed to see inside the system with various tradeoffs. While each technology presents technical challenges, it is now recognized that the combination of multiple neuroimaging techniques yields information beyond the sum of the parts. Multimodal Neuroimaging: Theory and Methods gives the theoretical background to, and practical applications of, neuroimaging technologies. It uses multiple tools including EEG, fMRI, MEG, TMS, neuromodulation and shows how to combine data from multiple sources into a more coherent picture for understanding the brain. Multimodal Neuroimaging: Theory and Methods enables graduate students and researchers to identify methods, theory and applications relevant to their area of interest and gain a fundamental understanding of the steps needed to implement multimodal neuroimaging in their work

Drosophila in Fundamental and Translational Neurobiology

1st Edition

Shinya Yamamoto + 1 more
English

Drosophila in Fundamental and Translational Neurobiology provides an integrative picture of the fruit fly as a model system to understand fundamental neurobiology as well as its increasing power in translational medicine. This volume offers a broad but integrated view of the value of Drosophila research in fundamental neurobiology, cell biology, physiology, behavior and its more recent applications to neurology and psychiatry. Welcoming new people into the field as an accessible resource for both novices and experts, it serves as a source of new ideas and hypotheses for neuroscientists who study vertebrate model organisms as well as physician-scientists who focus on translational approaches using in vitro or in vivo model systems. The first set of chapters addresses the principles and general application of the state-of-the-art methods and technology that is commonly used by Drosophila biologists. Remaining sections focus on development and cell biology to highlight how parts of the nervous system are made and connected, the use of Drosophila to study sensory systems and integration, neurophysiology and behavior, and finally Drosophila as a disease model. Together these five independent but integrated sections provide a holistic view of the latest Drosophila research and its use in neurobiology as well as its increasing relevance to neurological and neuropsychiatric disorder research - bridging the gap between different neuroscientific fields for researchers both inside and outside of the fly field.

Misfolding of Amyloid-beta and tau in Alzheimer’s and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases

1st Edition
January 1, 2099
Louise Serpell
English

Misfolding of Amyloid-beta and tau in Alzheimer’s and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases describes historical discoveries of these two major proteins in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. The book navigates through the importance of protein self-assembly, protein conformational change, and structural studies in understanding the positioning in the disease pathway. How these proteins are involved in the pathway to neuronal dysfunction, and the importance of understanding protein conformation and deposition for diagnosis are also highlighted. Although Alzheimer’s disease was discovered over 100 years ago, the role of protein misfolding in the pathology and cause of Alzheimer’s disease remains unclear. Amyloid-beta and Tau are both proteins well known for their involvement in Alzheimer’s disease. Both proteins misfolding and aggregate are deposited as cross-beta amyloid fibrils in the tissues.
