Book SynopsisWhile conventional magnetic resonance, X-ray-based, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine techniques are widely used to facilitate diagnosis, inform therapeutic decision-making, provide information regarding prognosis, and monitor therapeutic response in neurologic diseases, their practical value in acute clinical care is not as yet well-defined and the potential future development is not fully appreciated. This book provides a comprehensive survey of best practice for specialists and trainees in neurology, emergency medicine, neuroradiology, radiology, neurosurgery, and critical care. The symptom-based approach guides the choice of the available imaging tools for efficient, accurate, and cost-effective diagnosis to support immediate management of common and complex neurological disorders in the acute setting. Effective examination algorithms are included that integrate neurological and imaging concepts with the practical demands and constraints of emergency care. Written by leading international authorities, the book is extensively illustrated and contains many helpful case-histories.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. Disorders of consciousness G.

Book SynopsisMagnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) provide complementary views to the neurodynamics of healthy and diseased human brains. Both methods are totally noninvasive and can track with millisecond temporal resolution spontaneous brain activity, evoked responses to various sensory stimuli, as well as signals associated with the performance of motor, cognitive and affective tasks.MEG records the magnetic fields, and EEG the potentials associated with the same neuronal currents, which however are differentially weighted due to the physical and physiological differences between the methods. MEG is rather selective to activity in the walls of cortical folds, whereas EEG senses currents from the cortex (and brain) more widely, making it harder to pinpoint the locations of the source currents in the brain. Another important difference between the methods is that skull and scalp dampen and smear EEG signals, but do not affect MEG. Hence, to fully understand brain function, Trade ReviewThis Primer fulfills a gap in the human neurophysiology literature where no book exists dealing with MEG and EEG in equal terms. This is important since both methodologies are, in essence, complementary and jointly can be used to answer specific scientific questions with respect to a variety of brain functions. Special attention is paid to comparisons of findings obtained using both MEG and EEG modalities, what can yield important new insights, particularly in the growing field of cognitive neuroscience. Written in an appealing style, this Primer embraces the whole field of human neurophysiology." -Fernando Lopes Da Silva, MD, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Center of Neuroscience, Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences, Amsterdam, The NetherlandsTable of ContentsPREFACE PREAMBLE SECTION 1 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION MEG and EEG Setups Comparison of MEG and EEG Structure of this Primer CHAPTER 2: INSIGHTS INTO THE HUMAN BRAIN Overview of the Human Brain How to Obtain Information About Brain Function Timing in Human Behavior Functional Structure of the Human Cerebral Cortex Communication Between Brain Areas Thalamocortical Connections Intra-Brain Connectivity Electric Signaling in Neurons Membrane Potential Action Potentials Postsynaptic Potentials CHAPTER 3: BASIC PHYSICS AND PHYSIOLOGY OF MEG AND EEG An Overview of MEG and EEG Signal Generation Charges and Electric Current Ohm's and Kirchoff's Laws Relationship Between Current and Magnetic Field Superconductivity Inverse Problem Source Currents Primary Current Layers, Open Fields, and Closed Fields Intracortical Cancellation Volume Conduction Spherical Head Model Some General Points About Source Localization CHAPTER 4: AN OVERVIEW OF EEG AND MEG Historical Aspects Early EEG Recordings Early MEG Recordings Brain Rhythms Evoked and Event-Related Responses SECTION 2 CHAPTER 5: INSTRUMENTATION FOR MEG AND EEG EEG Instrumentation Electrodes EEG Amplifiers Differential Amplifiers, Common Mode Rejection, and Amplifier Input Impedances Standard Electrode Positions Effects of Reference Electrode on Potential Distribution Re-Referencing Relative to an Average Reference MEG Instrumentation Squids and Squid Electronics Flux Transformers and Their Configuration Shielding Other Means to Maintain a Noise-Free Environment Stimulators and Monitoring Devices Auditory Stimulators Visual Stimulators Somatosensory Stimulators Stimulators for Inducing Acute Pain Passive-Movement Stimulators (Proprioception Stimulation) Monitoring Devices Future Developments of EEG and MEG Instrumentation Developments in EEG Developments in MEG CHAPTER 6.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a concise overview of the possible clinical applications of standard EEG in clinical psychiatry. It starts with a short history then describes the physiologic basis of the EEG signal.Trade Review"This handbook, written and edited by experts in the field, is a welcome addition to the psychiatric literature. The only comparable book on this topic is EEG and Evoked Potentials in Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurology, Hughes and Wilson (Butterworth-Heinemann, 1983). This handbook is sort of an update of that classic." (Doody's, 7 October 2011) "Whether such a curriculum is defined in your country or not the book is recommended to all psychiatrists and clinical psychologists working with diagnosis of patients. For psychiatric residents it is an easily accessible, handy yet sufficiently exhaustive introduction to EEG." (Acta Neuropsychiatrica, 2011) "In summary, this book will most certainly be included in psychiatry curricula and will be a milestone of which Hans Berger will be proud." (Epilepsy & Behavior, 7 May 2011) "The guide is readable and is useful for medical students, psychiatric residents and clinicians seeking to augment their clinical skills in managing complex psychiatric treatments. The book fills a need and is a reminder that brain physiology is the core component in understanding and treating the aberrant behaviors that fill psychiatric clinics."
