Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Executive Control and the Frontal Lobe: Current
Book SynopsisWhile the importance of the prefrontal cortex for "higher-order" cognitive functions is largely undisputed, no consensus has been reached regarding precise specifications of these functions. For example, although some degree of regional specialization within the frontal lobe seems inevitable, by and large, most attempts to map specific cognitive functions onto neuroanatomical and/or cytoarchitectonic subdivisions have been disappointing. Although a high degree of functional specialization probably exists within the frontal cortex, it seems increasingly likely that the structural organization of this system does not relate, in any straightforward way, to contemporary models of cognition.Table of ContentsExecutive control and the frontal lobe: current issues.-Prefrontal cortical contributions to working memory: evidence from event-related fMRI studies.-Object working memory and visuospatial processing: functional neuroanatomy analyzed by event-related fMRI.-Segregation of working memory functions within the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.-The role of the lateral frontal cortex in mnemonic processing: the contributions of functional neuroimaging.-The role of the mid-dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in working memory.-Functional connectivity of the anterior cingulate cortex within the human frontal lobe: a brain-mapping meta-analysis.-Executive frontal functions.-Control of action as mediated by the human frontal lobe.-One more cup of coffee for the road: object-action assemblies, response blocking and response capture after frontal lobe damage.-And other contributions

Oxford University Press Managing Tourette Syndrome Parent Workbook A Behavioral Intervention Treatments That Work
Book SynopsisIn 2002, the Tourette Syndrome Association formed the TS Behavioral Sciences Consortium (BSC). The charge of the BSC was to develop and test nonpharmacological treatment options for individuals, both children and adults with Tourette Syndrome. This manual is the result of their work, and represents the most scientifically effective behavioral treatment for Tourette Syndrome available today. The treatment program uses Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for children and adults with chronic tic disorder. Individual treatment is based at its core on awareness training, the development of a specific competing response for each tic, and the use of functionally-based strategies for the elimination of tic-exacerbating antecedent and consequent variables. In addition, individual treatment includes techniques designed to enhance patient compliance, including social support and an inconvenience review, as well as scheduled time for the therapist and client to discuss areas of functioning that individuals with TS may find difficult, such as social/familial difficulties and disruptive/anger/rage behavior. Each week, clients are given homework assignments, to be done 4-5 times per week, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of awareness and competing response training to tics addressed in session. The client will be encouraged to keep tally marks to monitor tic behavior. Home-based monitoring and competing response training are reviewed at each session. All homework assignments will be available in the companion workbook.

Oxford University Press Brain Renaissance
Book SynopsisBrain Renaissance, from Vesalius to modern neuroscience is published on the 500th anniversary of the birth and the 450th anniversary of the death of Vesalius. The authors translated those Latin chapters of the Fabrica dedicated to the brain, a milestone in the history of neuroscience. Many chapters are accompanied by a commentary tracking the discoveries that paved the way to our modern understanding of the brain - from the pineal gland that regulates sleep, the fornix and mammillary bodies for memory, the colliculi for auditory and visual perception, and the cerebellum for motor control, to the corpus callosum for interhemispheric cross-talk, the neural correlates of senses, and the methods for dissections. The chapters constitute a primer for those interested in the brain and history of neuroscience. The translation, written with modern anatomical terminology in mind, provides direct access to Vesalius'' original work on the brain. Those interested in reading the words of the RenaissTrade ReviewCatani and Sandrone have produced a remarkable compilation of the history of neuroscience from Vesalius to the present day. The book highlights the complexity and wonder of the human body, specifically the brain and its functions. At the same time, the book honors the first physicians to observe and explore the human body like Vesalius. Catani and Sandrone's work is relevant both to students of medicine, and to those interested in Renaissance studies, medicine, and history. * Angela P. Pacheco, Purdue University. The British Society for Literature and Science *[This book is] a convincing attempt to use the fundamental discoveries of Andreas Vesalius as a key to start and develop multiple explorations of the brain. . . To have used an anatomist of five centuries ago as a guide through centuries of research on the brain is an original and somehow strange challenge. The fascination of Brain Renaissance, tells us that the goal was fully achieved. * Paolo Mazzarello, Department of Brain and Behavioral Sciences, and Historical Museum, Strada Nuova, Italy, in Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences XXX (2015) *This book is a compact and historically important contribution of interest to historians of science, especially biology. . . I feel it is even more valuable for those teaching neuroscience. . . [It helps] put our modern conceits as part of a long journey to understand mind and behaviour. * Gordon M. Burghardt, Professor in the departments of Psychology and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at The University of Tennessee, in PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61, No. 2, January 2016 *In Brain Renaissance, neuroscientists Marco Catani and Stefano Sandrone present a translation from the Latin of the Fabricas last volume, which focuses on the brain..... Brain Renaissance is not the only English translation, but it is the only one available at a price that individuals might afford. Accompanying texts by Catani and Sandrone place the work in its historical and scientific context. * Alison Abbott, Nature *Table of Contents- Preface ; -Introduction 1: The Anatomy of an anatomist ; - Introduction 2: A brief history of neuroscience from Vesalius to the connectome ; - Chapter 1: The brain is fabricated for the sake of the supreme spirit, the senses, and also the movement that depends upon our will ; - Chapter 2: On the dura membrane that surrounds the brain, and the small membrane covering the skull under the skin ; - Chapter 3: On the tenuis cerebral membranes ; - Chapter 4: On the number, position, shape, convolutions and substance of the brain and cerebellum ; Commentary: Scratching the surface of complexity ; - Chapter 5: On the corpus callosum of the brain and the septum of the right and left ventricles ; Commentary: A tale of anarchic hands and split brains ; - Chapter 6: On the cerebral ventricle ; Commentary: The liquor of our souls ; - Chapter 7: On the brain structure that expert dissectors have compared to a tortoise-like vault ; Commentary: A memory thread in the brain ; - Chapter 8: On the cerebral gland resembling a pine nut ; Commentary: From the seat of the soul to the SAD lamps ; - Chapter 9: On the testes [i.e. superior colliculi] and buttocks [i.e. inferior colliculi] of the brain ; Commentary: Sex on the hills ; - Chapter 10: On the processes of that [part of the] cerebellum that resembles a worm [i.e. vermis], and the tendons that contain them ; Commentary: More than a little brain ; - Chapter 11: On the infundibulum, the glandule that receives the cerebral phlegm and the other ducts that cleanse it ; Commentary: The axis of survival ; - Chapter 12: On the networks of the brain believed to be similar to the reticular plexus and the placenta ; Commentary: The net of wonder ; - Chapter 13: On the organ of smell ; - Chapter 14: On the eye, the instrument of vision ; - Chapter 15: On the organ of hearing ; - Chapter 16: On the organ of taste ; - Chapter 17: On the organ of touch ; - Chapter 18: How to dissect the brain and all the organs referred to in this brain ; -Appendix: Select Figures from Andreas Vesalius ; - Index
