Neurology and clinical neurophysiology Books

Book SynopsisNow in paperback, the Oxford Textbook of Cognitive Neurology and Dementia covers the dramatic developments that have occurred in the basic neuroscience and clinical research in both cognitive neurology and dementia in an integrated fashion. The text is firmly based on the clinical approach to the patient with cognitive impairment and dementia, while also providing the essential background scientific knowledge that is fundamental to clinical practice.Divided into three main sections, this book combines the basic science (Section 1) with different types of cognitive deficit or neuropsychological presentation (Section 2), and disease specific chapters (Section 3).With contributions from a range of international experts, this is essential reading for clinicians with an interest in cognition and dementia including neurologists, geriatricians and psychiatrists. It provides a powerful means of bringing together different aspects of conceptual understanding and factual knowledge, in a way thatTable of ContentsSection 1: Normal cognitive function 1: Charles Gross: Historical aspects of neurology 2: Giovanna Zamboni: Functional specialisation and network connectivity in brain function 3: Teresa Torralva, Ezequiel Gleichgerrcht, Agustin Ibañez, and Facundo Manes: The frontal lobes 4: Morgan D.

Book SynopsisVisual observation of patients is crucial in the diagnosis of movement disorders. Such observation can be subject to many pitfalls. The powerful lessons in this case-based book will help the reader appreciate diagnoses missed or wrongly attributed, movements difficult to characterize, tests inappropriately ordered or interpreted, and treatments incorrectly chosen or dosed. The wisdom of hindsight thus generated becomes an invaluable and enduring lesson. Organized in nine chapters according to the categories of errors and oversights, each case conveys a specific set of clinical pearls on diagnostic or therapeutic issues. The text is written in a coaching style, buttressed by the strong pedagogic wisdom of the authors. The 'hard questions' after each case are meant to steer the discussion straight into the pitfalls - and how they could have been avoided. Video segments on the accompanying CD-ROM are important complementary data, critical to a field so intimately dependent on phenomenologTrade Review“…A valuable tool for anyone studying for boards, thinking about a fellowship in movement disorders, or needing a review of the subtleties of both common and rare movement disorders. “ Doody's Review ServicesTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Missing the diagnosis altogether; 2. Attributing findings to a known or suspected disorder; 3. Clinical findings that are subtle; 4. When movement disorders are difficult to characterize; 5.

Book SynopsisA fully updated third edition covering the current research and clinical aspects on the interactions between cannabis and mental illness. Extensively expanded to include new chapters on prenatal cannabis exposure, addiction genetics, cannabis withdrawal, and cannabis and sleep. Essential reading for all members of the mental health team.Trade Review'The 3rd edition of this authoritative book is remarkably up-to-date and reflects well the current state of play in both the neuroscience and clinical approaches at the interface between mental health and cannabis. The updated textbook covers the essentials of cannabis and health and, most importantly, policy in an integrated and impressively comprehensive manner. Each chapter includes both important recent publications as well as seminal papers, particularly important given the evolution of information on cannabis and contemporary considerations for public health. The chapters, authored by world renowned experts, are well written and I particularly liked the explicit tables/ boxes.

Book SynopsisIf you love neuroanatomy, chances are that you also love a good puzzle. Providing a fun and refreshing alternative method of learning and reviewing neuroanatomical structures, this engaging book is perfect for those who love both neuroanatomy and riddles. 150 four-line riddles describe specific high-yield neuroanatomical structures in cryptic form. These could be lobes or general regions of the brain, blood vessels supplying key neurological structures, specific anatomical brain structures, or neuroanatomical spaces and passages. Hints such as general location in the body, the structure''s function or dysfunction if impaired, or its Latin or Greek name origin are incorporated. On the following page from each riddle, the answer is given along with a complete description of the structure, history of the structure, clinical correlation and more key information For even more challenging neuroscience puzzles, consider the Neurology Riddle Book, which includes riddles about neurological syndromes, conditions and diseases.

Book SynopsisThis well-established and acclaimed textbook introducing the rapidly growing field of nerve and muscle function has been completely revised and updated. Written with undergraduate students in mind, it begins with the fundamental principles demonstrated by the pioneering electrophysiological experiments on cell excitability. This leads to more challenging material recounting recent discoveries from applying modern biochemical, genetic, physiological and biophysical, experimental and mathematical analysis. The resulting interdisciplinary approach conveys a unified contemporary understanding of nerve and skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle function at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Emphasis on important strategic experiments throughout clarifies the basis for our current scientific views, highlights the excitement and challenge of biomedical discovery, and suggests directions for future advances. These fundamental ideas are then translated into discussions of related disease conditions and their clinical management. Now including colour illustrations, it is an invaluable text for students of physiology, neuroscience, cell biology and biophysics.Trade Review'Huang has taken on the mammoth task of bringing the book up-to-date and has succeeded in maintaining the enthusiastic and eminently readable approach of Keynes and Aidley, who created one of the greatest physiology books covering the crucial areas of nerve and muscle. The fascinating historical perspectives on the discovery of membrane potentials, the transmission of nerve impulses and their molecular basis are essential reading for students of medicine and physiology with a curiosity about scientific methods, and progress.' Michael A. Ferenczi, Imperial College London'...a beautifully written gem. It is clearly illustrated, and it makes one of the most difficult areas of biology completely accessible. It should find its way onto the bookshelves of electrophysiologists everywhere and any students who aspire to master one of the most exciting areas of modern biology.' Denis Noble, University of Oxford'This classic textbook on the fundamental biophysics and physiology of nerve and muscle remains an unparalleled source of knowledge that has served the scientific field for decades. Prof. Huang elegantly manages to update this edition with recent findings within this broad field continuing the excellence that characterizes this work.' Thomas Holm Pedersen, University of Aarhus, Denmark'Professor Christopher Huang has updated and significantly broadened the scope and the translational endpoints of the classical textbook of Integrative and Cell Physiology Keynes & Aidley's Nerve and Muscle. The result is a comprehensive, well planned, logically presented and extensively referenced monograph. Based on the text and supporting figures, it builds on the strengths of the parent textbook while also providing new in-depth coverage of recent advances in neurophysiology as well as skeletal and cardiac muscle electrophysiology and contractility. The internationally recognized research accomplishments of Professor Huang on key cell physiology mechanisms of the heart and skeletal muscle form the basis of very informative material concerning cardiac rhythm disturbances and some aspects of exercise physiology and aging. This textbook will serve as a valuable resource for undergraduates, graduate students, as well as both basic science and clinical faculty members in Life Sciences.'
