    • English
    Brain Responses to Auditory Mismatch and Novelty Detection: Predictive Coding from Cocktail Parties to Auditory-Related Disorders provides the connections between changes in the ‘error-generating network’ and disorder-specific changes while also exploring its diagnostic properties. The book allows the reader to appreciate the outcomes of predictive coding theory in fields of auditory streaming (including the cocktail-party effect) and psychiatric disorders with an auditory component. These include mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s disease, attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia and the cognitive aspects of Parkinson’s disease. The book combines animal experiments on adaptation, human auditory evoked potentials, including MMN and their maturational, as well as aging aspects into one comprehensive resource.

    • English
    Advances in Resting-State Functional MRI: Methods, Interpretation, and Applications gives readers with basic neuroimaging experience an up-to-date and in-depth understanding of the methods, opportunities, and challenges in rs-fMRI. The book covers current knowledge gaps in rs-fMRI, including "what are biologically plausible brain networks," "how to tell what part is noise," "how to perform quality assurance on the data," "what are the spatial and temporal limits of our ability to resolve FC," and "how to best identify network features related to individual differences or disease state". This book is an ideal reference for neuroscientists, computational neuroscientists, psychologists, biomedical engineers, physicists and medical physicists. Both new and more advanced researchers alike will be able to discover new information distilled from the past decade of research to become well-versed in rs-fMRI-related topics.

  • Connectome Analysis

    Characterization, Methods, and Analysis
    • 1st Edition
    • Markus D. Schirmer + 2 more
    • English
    Connectome Analysis: Characterization, Methods, and Analysis is a comprehensive companion for the analysis of brain networks, or connectomes. The book provides sources of constituent structural and functional MRI signals, network construction and practices for analysis, cutting-edge methods that address the latest challenges in neuroscience, and the fundamentals of network theory in the context of giving practical methods for building connectomes for analysis. Emphasis is placed on quality control of the individual analysis steps. Subsequent chapters discuss networks in neuroscience in clinical and general populations, including how findings are related to underlying neurophysiology and neuropsychology.This book is aimed at students and early-career researchers in brain connectomics and neuroimaging who have a background in computer science, mathematics and physics, as well as more broadly to neuroscientists and psychologists who want to start incorporating connectomics into their research.

    • English
    Cannabis, Cannabinoids, and Endocannabinoids offers a comprehensive reference on natural and synthetic cannabinoids, providing coverage on both adverse and non-adverse effects, including reactivity to pain, changes in behavior and neuroactivity. This volume updates on research on the effects of these compounds in brain function and neurological dysfunction, offering readers a comprehensive reference on medical usage and the symptom relief provided by these compounds. With coverage of neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and a wide range of other afflictions, including depression, anxiety, nausea and cancer, this broad coverage expounds on the physiological, psychological and pharmacological effects of these compounds. Unique case reports are also provided, creating a platform for research on the use of these compounds in improving patient care, brain function and neurological dysfunction. As the endocannabinoid system has been implicated in various neurological conditions, this book is a welcomed resource on the topics presented.

  • Nonlinear Dynamics of Parkinson’s Disease and the Basal Ganglia-Thalamic-Cortical System

    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Nonlinear Dynamics of Parkinson’s Disease and the Basal Ganglia-Thalamic-Cor... System examines current research regarding the operations of the basal ganglia-thalamic-cor... system that causes neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease. While there have been remarkable advances in the understanding of the anatomy, physiology and chemistry of these systems, there remains a significant degree of inconsistency and incompleteness between facts and advancements. This book introduces the novel concepts of nonlinear complex systems and their connection to Parkinsonism as well as hyperkinetic disorders. The actual mechanisms underlying the motor disorders of Parkinson’s disease at the level of the lower motor neuron are also discussed.

  • Neuroimaging in Neurogenic Communication Disorders

    Neuroimaging in Neurogenic Communication Disorders provides a comprehensive review of cases utilizing neuroimaging in neurogenic communication disorders. Basic knowledge of neuroanatomy and medical conditions related to these speech and language disorders are discussed. Each case study includes information on neuroanatomy, case presentation, neuroimaging, differential diagnosis, and final diagnosis. This book is written for medical students, practitioners and researchers in neuroscience and speech language pathology. Neurogenic communication disorders are caused by damage to the central or peripheral nervous system. This damage can be caused by Parkinson’s disease, stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, and other neurologic disorders and causes issues such as aphasia, dysarthria and apraxia.
