Insomnia Disorder

1st Edition
November 1, 2029
Jaime M. Monti + 1 more
English

The field of sleep pharmacology is dynamic in nature and rapid advances are occurring in the field. For example, screening for new drug candidates, development of new drugs, identification of molecular targets, and works related to its efficacy and safety profiles. Furthermore, this leads to the development of evidence-based therapeutic guidelines. Insomnia Disorder: Epidemiology, Causes, and Pharmacotherapy consolidates the latest developments into one volume. It provides the latest, up-to-date knowledge regarding sleep and sleep therapeutics for sleep physicians, sleep researchers, psychiatrists, and any medical professional interested in the interdisciplinary areas of sleep therapeutics. Chapters include topics such as neurobiology, neurotransmitters, regulation of sleep and wakefulness, and overview of all current pharmacotherapies for insomnia.

Neuromodulation for Pain Control

1st Edition
September 1, 2029
Gerald Leisman + 1 more
English

The Handbook of Rehabilitation Sciences series is a multi-volume, multi-disciplinary handbook of rehabilitation sciences which provides a single vehicle for the many fields that converge on rehabilitation. These fields each have an independent literature and language that does not converge on the practice of related disciplines. This results in a fractured rather than holistic understanding of what is necessary for a science of returning the impaired to optimized function. This project provides a unified platform for the cross– disciplinary presentation of ideas in rehabilitation sciences thereby creating a resource for practitioners and researchers in all disciples associated with rehabilitation applications. Neuromodulation for Pain Control specifically covers stimulation to treat patients suffering from chronic pain. The volume is divided into three main sections: spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, and intrathecal therapies and control of spasticity for pain control. Each section introduces the concept, discuses anatomy and physiology associated to the pain and various treatment options to manage the pain. It also provides pharmacological options, exploring non-opioid agents and new molecules for intrathecal use and delivery.

Neurorehabilitation

The Handbook of Rehabilitation Sciences series is a multi-volume, multi-disciplinary handbook of rehabilitation sciences which provides a single vehicle for the many fields that converge on rehabilitation. These fields each have an independent literature and language that does not converge on the practice of related disciplines. This results in a fractured rather than holistic understanding of what is necessary for a science of returning the impaired to optimized function. This project provides a unified platform for the cross– disciplinary presentation of ideas in rehabilitation sciences thereby creating a resource for practitioners and researchers in all disciples associated with rehabilitation applications. Neurorehabilitation aims to aid recovery from an injury, disease or disorders of the nervous system. Before delving into the practice of neurorehabilitation the reader is first introduced to neural plasticity, which allows the neurons to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment. Understanding this concept is crucial to neurorehabilitation. The volume provides detail information on symptom-specific neurorehabilitation, vegetative and autonomic dysfunctions, and disease-specific neurorehabilitation systems. This book is ideal for practitioners in the field looking for a specific treatment option for their patients.

Rehabilitation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders

This project provides a unified platform for the cross– disciplinary presentation of ideas in rehabilitation sciences thereby creating a resource for practitioners and researchers in all disciples associated with rehabilitation applications. Rehabilitation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders provides an in-depth reference to neurodevelopmental disabilities, including concepts, definition and epidemiology of disabilities affecting children. The volume editors explore how each disability is diagnosed using screening methods and imaging techniques. The volumes continues with neonatal and early interventions and rehabilitations for autism, ADD/ADHD, childhood OCD and more.

Foundational Neuroscience

1st Edition
August 1, 2029
Norbert R. Myslinski
English

Foundational Neuroscience: An Introduction to the Field is a unique introduction to this complex field. Providing a foundational introduction to complex brain concepts, this volume features almost 30 chapters covering brain function, dysfunction and research. With a focus on anatomy, physiology and pathology, chapters delve into important concepts in brain research, including neuroplasticity, intelligence, memory, emotions, consciousness, vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, movement and biomedical research. Unique offerings include career guides, suggested readings, Q&As and neuroethics.

Evolution of Nervous Systems and Cognitive Function

1st Edition
July 2, 2029
English

The Evolution of Nervous Systems and Cognitive Function highlights factors of neuronal evolution and neurobiology on the changing planet including the reconstruction of the evolution of basal and advanced cognitive functions. The volume explains the principles of synthetic neurobiology, artificial intelligence-based interfaces, and prospects of newly emerging fields at the intersection of evolution and environment. This includes coverage on the evolutionary bases of neuroplasticity and neurological disorders. As a result, this book enables the reader to understand the fundamental biological bases of synthetic and future neuroscience fields such as neurotransplantations, neurobots and hybrid brains.

Cancer Center

1st Edition
June 1, 2029
Thomas D. Brown
English

Neuro-oncology departments within cancer centers provide state-of-the-art treatment and research facilities addressing brain tumors and cancers of the nervous system. This book describes the neuroimaging centers housed within and the methodological advances that have emerged as a consequence of these integrated hospital and research facilities. With input from both researchers and clinicians, Neuroimaging Development in Neuro-Oncology Centers provides a comprehensive summary of these multidisciplinary neuro-oncology centers and the benefits of colocalized organization, delving into the multidisciplinary methods housed in these centers and their application in a clinical setting. This view of both research and clinical settings is extremely valuable and uniquely found in one volume here. This is a critical read for neuro-oncologists, neuroscientists, neuro-oncologists, neurologists, and any trainees working in methods development or brain tumor research, with the ultimate goal of elevating the quality of brain cancer research and treatment everywhere.

Autonomic Expression of Emotion

1st Edition
March 1, 2029
Hari H. Subramanian + 1 more
English

Autonomic Expression of Emotion is the first book to form a functional definition of the mind-brain connection in relation to emotional expression. The body’s expression of emotion—from laughing to crying to experiencing stress or anxiety—requires a response from the autonomic nervous system. Without modulation of respiration, vocalization, cardiovascular activity, pain receptors, and urinary responses, no emotional expression is possible. While emotional control is within the purview of the limbic system, autonomic control lies within the brainstem. Neuroscience research typically addresses these areas as two separate entities, rather than examining them in unison. Autonomic Expression of Emotion thoroughly examines this relationship, and provides comprehensive coverage of the neurons, circuits, and control mechanisms through which the limbic and autonomic systems interact to produce emotional expression.
