      Behavioral Neuroscience is a relatively recent discipline which unifies different fields encompassing Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Science, Clinical Neurology, Neuroanatomy, and Neurophysiology. Encyclopedia of Behavioral Neuroscience, Three Volume Set is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary work written by the best experts in the field, addressing the relationship between the neurological and biological basis of behavior and models of cognition, spanning from perception to memory and covering phenomena that occur in human and other animals. Published in 2010, it comprised 212 articles and was a unique and essential resource for students and professionals in several fields including neuroscience, psychology, neurology, psychiatry, and cognitive science. It was by far the most comprehensive reference work available addressing the advances in all the field of behavioral neuroscience. It does however, now need revising with the latest science. The new edition will again cover the relationship between brain and behavior, both in humans and other animals, as well as mental and brain disorders. This new edition spans accross three volumes, 250 chapters and approximately 2000 pages. It will build on the foundations of the first edition by thoroughly updating all current articles with the latest research that has developed in the last decade. In addition, 40 brand new articles on the hottest topics within behavioral neuroscience will be added, covering areas such as advances in behavioral genetics and epigenetics, cognitive ageing, neuroepidemiology, social neuroscience, as well as the upsurge of new technologies like diffusion tensor imaging or transcranial direct current stimulation. The result will be an all-encompassing one-stop interdisciplinary major reference work on how the brain and its disorders influence behavior, perfect for neuroscience students, clinicians and scientists interested in knowing more about behavior from a biological perspective.

      La chirurgie endoscopique endonasale est une chirurgie récente, dont la réputation était, encore il y a quelques années, celle d’une « chirurgie aveugle et aveuglante » tant ses complications pouvaient être graves et fréquentes. Aujourd’hui les progrès techniques et technologiques permettent d’améliorer la plupart des pathologies nasosinusiennes avec des suites opératoires simples. Pourtant, nombre de chirurgiens limitent toujours leur pratique aux procédures élémentaires par méconnaissance des techniques actuelles. Très didactique et richement illustré, ce livre apportera au praticien toutes les connaissances anatomiques, radiologiques et techniques nécessaires pour réaliser l’ensemble des procédures endoscopiques courantes. Chaque intervention y est décrite « pas à pas », depuis la préparation de l’intervention jusqu’aux suites opératoires. Une iconographie abondante et de nombreux conseils pratiques en font un ouvrage au plus proche de l’enseignement de terrain réalisé au bloc opératoire. L’ouvrage est complété par de nombreuses vidéos en ligne
