BenBella Books Expressly Human: Decoding the Language of Emotion
Book SynopsisGood communication, conventional wisdom suggests, is calm, logical, rational. Emotions, we’re told, just get in the way. But what if this is backwards? What if those emotional overtones are the main messages we’re sending to one another, and all that logical language is just window dressing?Over billions of years of evolution, animals have become increasingly sophisticated and increasingly sentient. In the process, they evolved emotions, which helped improve their odds of survival in complex situations. These emotions were, at first, purely internal. But at some point, social animals began expressing their emotions, in increasingly dramatic ways. These emotional expressions could accurately reflect internal emotions (smiling to express happiness)—or they could be quite different (smiling to cover up that you’re actually furious, but can’t tell your boss that). Why did once-stone-faced animals evolve to be so emotionally expressive—to be us? The answer, as evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi and mathematician Tim Barber reveal, is that emotional expressions are our first and most important language—one that allows us, as social animals, to engage in highly sophisticated communications and negotiations. Expressly Human introduces an original theory that explains, from first principles, how the broad range of emotional expressions evolved, and provides a Rosetta Stone for human communication. It will revolutionize the way you see every social interaction, from deciding who gets the last slice of pizza to multimillion-dollar business negotiations, and change your definition of what makes us human.

BenBella Books The Invisible Machine: The Startling Truth About
Book SynopsisDespite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. Leading trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury to the body - invisible but tangible, and most importantly, treatable. Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the stellate ganglion. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress are the same for all of us, whether from childhood poverty or abandonment, the ravages of war, or the brutality of sexual assault. Dr. Lipov’s pioneering procedure appears to treat injury to the stellate ganglion, relieving even the worst symptoms of PTSD - irritability, hypervigilance, insomnia, and more - in a 15-minute treatment. Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society. Written in collaboration with Holly Lorincz and featuring stories of warriors, prisoners, abuse survivors, and the average citizen, The Invisible Machine reveals a stark new understanding of human pain. The implications for a better, pain-free world are astounding - and that world could be nearer than we think.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Defining Autism: A Guide to Brain, Biology, and
Book SynopsisOffering a summary of the current state of knowledge in autism research, Defining Autism looks at the different genetic, neurological and environmental causes of, and contributory factors to autism. It takes a wide-ranging view of developmental and genetic factors, and considers autism's relationship with other conditions such as epilepsy. Shedding light on the vast number of autism-related syndromes which are all too often denied adequate attention, it shows how, whilst autism refers to a single syndrome, it can be understood as many different conditions, with the common factors being biological, rather than behavioral.Table of Contents1.

Michael O'Mara Books Ltd What Are You Thinking?: Why We Feel and Act the
Book SynopsisPsychologist Nicky Hayes explores the ingenious and sometimes unhelpful ways our minds process the world around us in this comprehensive and accessible guide to the science of thinking.The science of how we think is fundamental to understanding why we are who we are, and why we do what we do. What goes on inside your head when you’re processing information – thinking, storing or accessing a memory, paying attention, processing language, being creative, problem-solving and learning – dictates how we interact with each other, what motivates and discourages us and the decisions we make every day.Including chapters on attribution, the problem with bias, how we form beliefs, ways of remembering, and conscious and unconscious thinking, What Are You Thinking? examines the science behind how we think, revealing the complex and fascinating web of processes that rule the way we view the world.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Binding: A Special Issue of Visual Cognition
Book SynopsisVisual processing acts as a prism, splitting visual information from the retinal image into separately processed features such as color, shape, and orientation. Binding refers to the set of cognitive and neural mechanisms that re-integrate these features to create a holistic representation of the objects in the visual field. The binding problem in vision refers to how this integration is achieved. The binding problem, however, isn’t a singular problem, but a constellation of interrelated problems. The articles in this special issue of Visual Cognition cover three major types of binding, each of which may require a unique solution: The binding of features within objects, the relational binding among objects, and the binding between temporally related events. Within these broad topics, articles consider the role of attention in feature binding, the representation of static and moving multi-feature objects, the binding of objects to scenes, binding processes involved in learning and long-term memory, the development of binding abilities, and binding of information between visual and non-visual memory systems. Rather than disseminate conclusive solutions to these various instantiations of the binding problem, this collection of work describes the current state-of-the science, highlights the interconnections between the binding problems and the approaches taken to solve them, and outlines the critical issues that have yet to be resolved. In this single volume readers will confront work with children, young adults, and patients, and work that uses traditional behavioural measures, eye movement recording, functional imaging, and transcranial magnetic stimulation.Table of ContentsBrockmole, Franconeri, Introduction.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Good Practice in Brain Injury Case Management
Book SynopsisBrain injury case management involves the care and support of brain-injured individuals and their families in a range of areas, from personal injury litigation to the planning of treatment and therapy regimes.Good Practice in Brain Injury Case Management provides a guide to effective case management, outlining all the key issues that professionals working with brain-injured people will need to know, from understanding what brain injury actually is and how it feels to experience it to strategies for rehabilitation, assessing risk and implementing support plans. The contributors are drawn from a wide range of disciplines, including social work, neuropsychology, occupational therapy and legal practice, and offer information and advice in clear jargon-free.This is an essential handbook for case managers and all other professionals working with brain injured people.Trade ReviewA practical guide, clearly outlining the role of the case manager and focusing on aspects of good practice in case management. A number of case studies and case histories are used to illustrate and highlight points made. It investigates factors relevant during transitional periods, rehabilitation and community integration and strategies for implementing support plans... an extremely useful text for those who are involved, in brain injury case management. -- British Journal of Occupational TherapyThis book is integral to, and therefore necessary reading for, professionals involved with brain injury in the short, mid and long-term phases of recovery. It is also accessible and informative for those primarily affected by ABI, when reflecting on their individual experience of injury, rehabilitation and case management. I found it to be a very competent publication, which not only provides education and information to various professionals, but also crucially connects with the tens of thousands of people who continue to experience the ramifications of brain injury firsthand. In providing complex information in a clear and readable format and enlightening examples from case studies, it realises its aim well... In conclusion, the ultimate recommendation that I can give is to state that Good Practice in Brain Injury Case Management is regularly used as reference material within the case management services of Rehab UK. -- The Journal of Interprofessional CareOne of the most important and practical volumes on the delivery of brain injury services to appear in the last ten years and it sets a gold standard of best practice. It is essential reading. -- Dr Nicholas Priestley, Consultant Clinical NeuropsychologistWhatever stage your practice is at, you can learn something here to your, and your client's, advantage. -- British Association of Brain Injury Case ManagersThis is an excellent book for present and would be Brain Injury Case Managers. It would also be of benefit for those who provide services for people with other clinical and legal responsibilities for this group of clients. -- Annie Gent, Director of Clinical Programmes, Brain Injury ServicesI congratulate Jackie Parker on assembling such a formidable team of experts in this field [and] I am delighted that this book has found room to include a number of personal testimonies, some of which will bring a tear to the eye, or make you want to laugh out loud, or fix in you a steely determination to do whatever is necessary to improve the quality of the lives of people, and their families, who experience the problems of an acquired brain injury on a day-to-day basis. -- Denzil Lush, Master of the Court of ProtectionThis excellent book... clarifies the role of the brain injury case manager. Each chapter is written by a different author so the reader benefits from the collective experience and knowledge of professionals currently working as or with case managers... However, many of the chapters are relevant for case managers working with clients with complex needs other than brain injury as they address core case management principles.When many of us started out on the unclear path that has lead to current brain injury case management practice in the United Kingdom we would have valued a clear honest book such as this. It is long awaited and needed and will not only assist currently practising case manager but be a practical textbook for new and would be case managers.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Neuroscience of Psychiatric Disorders
Book SynopsisSocial Neuroscience of Psychiatric Disorders is about the role of the Social Brain in neuropsychiatry. The need to belong to social groups and interact with others has driven much of the evolution of the human brain. The relatively young field of social neuroscience has made impressive strides towards clarifying the neural correlates of the Social Brain, but, until recently, has not focused on mental and neurological disorders. Yet, the Social Brain underlies all brain-behaviour disorders, and nearly every neuropsychiatric illness involves social behavioural disturbances. This unique and ground-breaking volume is a major step forward in deciphering the impact of the Social Brain on neuropsychiatric disorders. Investigators evaluate neuropsychiatric disorders in the context of recent advances in social neuroscience to reveal the impact of social brain mechanisms on neuropsychiatric disorders and allow readers to glimpse the exciting potential advances in this field in the years to come. This book was originally published as a special issue of Social Neuroscience.Table of Contents1. Introduction 2.

BenBella Books NeuroScience Fiction: How Neuroscience Is
Book SynopsisWhat if science fiction stopped being fiction? Developments in neuroscience are turning sci-fi scenarios into reality, and causing us to revisit some of the philosophical questions we have been asking ourselves for centuries. Science fiction often takes its inspiration from the latest science . . . and our oldest questions. After all, the two are inextricably linked. At a time when advances in artificial intelligence are genuinely leading us closer to a computer that thinks like a human, we can't help but wonder: What makes a person a person? Countless writers and filmmakers have created futuristic scenarios to explore this issue and others like it. But these scenarios may not be so futuristic after all. In the movie Inception, a group of conspirators implants false memories; in Until the End of the World, a mad scientist is able to read dreams; in 2001: A Space Odyssey, a supercomputer feels and thinks like a person. And in recent years, the achievements described in leading scientific journals have included some that might sound familiar: implanting memories using optogenetics, reading the mind during sleep thanks to advanced decoding algorithms, and creating a computer that uses deep neural networks to surpass the abilities of human thought. In NeuroScience Fiction, neuroscientist and author Rodrigo Quiroga reveals the futuristic present we are living in, showing how the far-out premises of 10 seminal science fiction movies are being made possible by discoveries happening right now, on the cutting edge of neuroscience. He also explores the thorny philosophical problems raised as a result, diving into Minority Report and free will, The Matrix and the illusion of reality, Blade Runner and android emotion, and more. A heady mix of science fiction, neuroscience, and philosophy, NeuroScience Fiction takes us from Vanilla Sky to neural research labs, and from Planet of the Apes to what makes us human. This is a book you'll be thinking about long after the last page—and once you've read it, you'll never watch a sci-fi blockbuster the same way again.Trade Review"If you like science fiction, this book is for you, but if you like science and fiction, then this is certainly your book. Intelligent and well informed." —Antonio Damasio, director of the Brain and Creativity Institute, University of Southern California, and author of Descartes' Error and The Strange Order of Things. "Rodrigo Quian Quiroga has written a thorough, provocative answer to the deep philosophical question of what makes us human. His truly remarkable book blends art, science, and philosophy as seen through the highly original lens of brain research and movies." —Gustavo Deco, ICREA professor, director of the Center for Brain and Cognition, Theoretical and Computational Group, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona "Renowned cognitive neuroscientist Rodrigo Quian Quiroga invites us on an exhilarating journey, in which the motley trio of neuroscience, philosophy, and Hollywood together seek after the recipe of the mind. Quian Quiroga, who himself discovered what is sure to be an essential ingredient, the concept cells, shows us how frighteningly close we are getting and how huge the stakes are." —Doris Y. Tsao, neuroscientist and professor of biology at the California Institute of Technology "This book is a fascinating journey across some of the most influential science-fiction movies that deal with the deepest questions in neuroscience and philosophy of mind." —Jose M. Carmena, professor of electrical engineering and neuroscience, University of California, Berkeley "NeuroScience Fiction will be a treat for sci-fi movie fans and anyone who has wondered just how close we are to the horizon technologies—which is often much closer than we realize." —James H.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Competition and Cooperation in Neural Nets: Proceedings of the U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar held at Kyoto, Japan February 15–19, 1982
Book SynopsisThe human brain, wi th its hundred billion or more neurons, is both one of the most complex systems known to man and one of the most important. The last decade has seen an explosion of experimental research on the brain, but little theory of neural networks beyond the study of electrical properties of membranes and small neural circuits. Nonetheless, a number of workers in Japan, the United States and elsewhere have begun to contribute to a theory which provides techniques of mathematical analysis and computer simulation to explore properties of neural systems containing immense numbers of neurons. Recently, it has been gradually recognized that rather independent studies of the dynamics of pattern recognition, pattern format::ion, motor control, self-organization, etc. , in neural systems do in fact make use of common methods. We find that a "competition and cooperation" type of interaction plays a fundamental role in parallel information processing in the brain. The present volume brings together 23 papers presented at a U. S. -Japan Joint Seminar on "Competition and Cooperation in Neural Nets" which was designed to catalyze better integration of theory and experiment in these areas. It was held in Kyoto, Japan, February 15-19, 1982, under the joint sponsorship of the U. S. National Science Foundation and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. Participants included brain theorists, neurophysiologists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and physicists. There are seven papers from the U. S.Table of ContentsI. An Opening Perspective.- 1.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Was uns nicht umbringt: Wie es Menschen gelingt,
Book SynopsisEin Buch, das Mut macht: Die neue Psychologie des posttraumatischen Wachstums Schicksalsschläge müssen uns nicht aus der Bahn werfen. Sie können vielmehr neue Stärken und Lebensperspektiven eröffnen und einen Reifungsprozess anstoßen. Dieses hoffnungsvolle Fazit zieht Stephen Joseph, einer der Wegbereiter der Psychotraumatologie, aus seiner jahrzehntelangen Arbeit mit traumatisierten Menschen. Sein Buch schlägt einen weiten Bogen: Es schildert Fallgeschichten, macht psychologische Studien nachvollziehbar, zeigt, welche Spuren erschütternde Erlebnisse im Gehirn hinterlassen, und beleuchtet, wie es Menschen gelingt – und wie man sie therapeutisch dabei unterstützen kann –, gestärkt aus emotionalen Katastrophen hervorzugehen. Tsunamis, Gewaltverbrechen, tragische Verkehrsunfälle – solche Erfahrungen, so heißt es, zeichnen die Betroffenen fürs Leben und bürden ihnen posttraumatische Belastungsstörungen auf. Doch der Psychologe Stephen Joseph kommt nach 20 Jahren Forschung zu einem anderen Schluss: Derartige Traumata können zu „Motoren der inneren Veränderung“ werden. Auf Fallstudien gestützt schildert er den emotionalen Tribut traumatischer Erlebnisse, die zugrunde liegende Biologie, die Erscheinungsformen der Resilienz und die große Bandbreite der verfügbaren Therapien … Dies ist ein weitgefasster und plausibler Blick auf die Psychologie des Überlebens. Nature _____Warum im Leid auch eine Chance liegen kann Was geschieht, wenn wir mit dem Schlimmsten konfrontiert sind? Gemeinhin herrscht die Vorstellung, ein Trauma zeichne uns für das restliche Leben – mit oft verheerenden Folgen für fast alle Aspekte unseres Alltags, von unserem Schlafzyklus über unsere sozialen Beziehungen bis hin zu unserem Lebenswillen. Doch wie der international renommierte Psychologe und Psychotherapeut Stephen Joseph in diesem Buch zeigt, setzen traumatische Erfahrungen oft auch positive Entwicklungen in Gang und liefern Anstöße zu einer Verbesserung des Lebens: Die Betroffenen erleben gefestigte persönliche Beziehungen, lernen das Leben stärker wertzuschätzen und gelangen zu neuer innerer Stärke. Sie machen eine Erfahrung, die die Psychologen als posttraumatisches Wachstum bezeichnen. Josephs breit angelegtes Buch führt die Weisheit antiker Philosophen, die Einsichten von Evolutionsbiologen, den Optimismus der positiven Psychologen und seine eigenen bahnbrechenden Studien zusammen, um Wege aufzuzeigen, wie Menschen angesichts dramatischer Veränderungen und Widrigkeiten neuen Lebenssinn und neue Lebensziele finden können. Durch das Buch ziehen sich bewegende Geschichten von Menschen, die trotz großen Leids und schmerzlicher Verluste nicht aufgaben … Joseph verleiht den Berühmten und den Unbekannten gleichermaßen eine Stimme, wenn er Geschichten vom Überleben und Aufblühen in persönlichen wie globalen Krisen erzählt. Dabei vermittelt das Buch tiefe Kenntnisse über die Dynamik des posttraumatischen Wachstums und verwandter Theorien. Es stellt eine seltene Meisterleistung dar, ein Buch zu schreiben, das sowohl für die allgemeine Leserschaft als auch für Fachleute und Praktiker reizvoll und nützlich ist. Joseph ist es gelungen.

Es stellt eine seltene Meisterleistung dar, ein Buch zu schreiben, das sowohl für die allgemeine Leserschaft als auch für Fachleute und Praktiker reizvoll und nützlich ist. Joseph ist es gelungen. John Harvey, Professor emeritus für Psychologie, University of Iowa Hervorragend geschrieben, gestützt auf Spitzenforschung rückt das Buch eine der nobelsten Eigenschaften der Menschheit ins Licht: die Fähigkeit, im Angesicht nahezu unerträglichen Leidens Sinn zu finden und zu wachsen. Mick Cooper, Professor für psychologische Beratung, University of Strathclyde Bestechend anspruchsvoll, höchst aufschlussreich und unbedingt lesenswert ist [Titel] sowohl Betroffenen, die selbst ein Trauma erfahren haben, als auch Nichtbetroffenen rundum zu empfehlen. Eine neue Sichtweise mit der Kraft zur Verwandlung. Elaine Iljon Foreman, Autorin von Fly Away Fear: Overcoming Your Fear of Flying [Eine] provokante Herausforderung für die herrschende Ansicht zum Umgang mit Belastungen. Kirkus Reviews Was uns nicht umbringt ist eine einfühlsame und unterhaltsame Darstellung der neuen Psychologie der Resilienz. Stephen Joseph verbindet in genialer Weise persönliche Schicksale von Menschen und modernste Psychologie, um zu erklären, warum wir alle über die Fähigkeit verfügen, über Widrigkeiten zu obsiegen. Dieses Buch müssen Sie einfach lesen, wenn Sie sich je gefragt haben, warum die meisten von uns eine Katastrophe so gut wegstecken. Was uns nicht umbringt ist ein unschätzbar wertvoller Leitfaden für jeden, der mit einem Trauma fertig werden muss. Elaine Fox, Autorin von In jedem steckt ein Optimist((weitere Stimmen))“What Doesn’t Kill Us is accessible for all readers, with a slant toward those in the helping and healing professions. It isn’t too thick (in length or subject matter); condenses the latest research into bite size portions; and provides helpful and practical tools for ways to view trauma as a catalyst for growth and positive change, without being preachy, dogmatic or too theoretical. Well worth the time to read, digest, and utilize in one’s daily life.” Gabriel Constans, New York Review of Books “Informative and thoughtful.” Publishers Weekly “Although essential reading for clinicians working with traumatised patients, What Doesn’t Kill Richard Bentall, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Liverpool “To say that [What Doesn't Kill Us] is essential reading would be an understatement. It is essential as a survival guide to life” Stephen Regel, Honorary Associate Professor/Co-Director Centre for Trauma, Resilience and Growth School of Sociology and Social Policy University of Nottingham “In an area beset by wishful thinking, Stephen Joseph makes the scientific case for how difficult times can lead to personal growth. What Doesn’t Kill Us is a well-argued and well-evidenced challenge to the idea that trauma is necessarily a curse.” Vaughan Bell, Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College, London “We live in a world in which suffering is endemic. In this book Stephen Joseph sounds a hopeful note. Suffering need not destroy.” Terry Waite CBE“What Doesn’t Kill Us is a book of wisdom—both for those who have undergone great stress as well as for those who love and treat them. It is psychology at its best: honest, hopeful, helpful, and based on sound serious research. Reading it makes me proud to be a psychologist.” Robert J.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Zerebro-vaskuläre Störungen: Mit Kapiteln über angewandte Embryologie, Anatomie der Gefäße und Physiologie des Gehirns und des Rückenmarks
Book SynopsisSchlaganfälle töten jährlich mehr als 275000 Amerikaner und invalidisieren weitere 300 000; sie stellen somit eine der Hauptur sachen für Tod und Langzeitinvalidität dar. In den Vereinigten 1 Staaten leben ständig 2 / Millionen Opfer von Schlaganfällen; 2 ein Drittel davon ist jünger als 65 Jahre, und 10% bedürfen der Betreuung in einer Anstalt. Das daraus entstehende Leid läßt sich nicht in Zahlen ausdrücken, wohl aber die jährlichen Ausgaben, die für medizinische Betreuung auf 1,2 Milliarden Dollar und für Verdienstausfälle auf mehr als 3 Milliarden Dollar geschätzt werden. Trotz dieser hohen Ausgaben verfügen viele Ärzte über nur beschränkte Kenntnisse bezüglich des zerebralen Kreislaufs und dessen Erkrankungen. Demzufolge ist die medizinische Betreuung, die vielen ihrer Patienten zuteil wird, nicht optimal. Unser Buch wurde für Kliniker geschrieben, und wir haben den Akzent auf die Diagnose und Therapie häufig vorkommen der Probleme gelegt. Zu Beginn wird Grundwissen auf dem Gebiete der Embryologie, Anatomie und Physiologie des Hirn kreislaufs vermittelt; später werden alle For:men zerebro-vasku lärer Erkrankungen ausführlich besprochen, wobei die Arte riosklerose besonders hervorgehoben wird. Obwohl ein Großteil des in der ersten Auflage enthaltenen Materials beibehalten wurde, treten in der vorliegenden zweiten Auflage neue Aspekte hinzu, u. a. ein Kapitel über Hirninfarkte, ein ausführliches Kapitel über die Physiologie des Hirnkreis laufs, ein neues Kapitel über angewandte Embryologie sowie ein Kapitel über seltene und ungewöhnliche Formen zerebro-vasku lärer Erkrankungen.Table of Contents1.

Book Synopsis1. Themeanrestingmembranepotentialofrattaste cells is - 36 mVunderadap- tation of the tongue to 41.4 mMNaCI and - 50mV under water adaptation. 2. The shapes ofreceptor potentials ofrattastecells inresponsetothe four basic tastestimuli(0.5MNaCI, 0.02 M Q-HCI, 0.01 MHCl, and0.5 M sucrose)are classified into three types, namely (1) a depolarization alone, (2) a depolariza- tion preceded by a transient hyperpolarization, and (3) a hyperpolarization alone. No regenerative spike potentials are evoked in rat taste cells by chemical stimuli. The amplitude of rat taste cell responses increases with increasing concentrationofthe taste stimulus. Mostofthe rat taste cells show a multiple sensitivity in that single cells respond to various combinations of the four basic taste stimuli with depolarizations or hyperpolarizations. 3. The rise and fall times of depolarizing responses to 0.5 M NaCI are much shorter than those of depolarizing responses to the other three stimuli. The fall time of depolarization evoked by 0.01 M HCI is the longest. The rise and fall times of all hyperpolarizing responses are shorter than those of all de- polarizing responses.Table of ContentsReceptor Potential in Rat Taste Cells.- Functional Properties of the Fish Olfactory System.- Homeostasis of Extracellular Fluid in Retinas of Invertebrates and Vertebrates.- Slowly Conducting Afferent Fibers from Deep Tissues: Neurobiological Properties and Central Nervous Actions.

Springer Verlag GmbH Clinical Neurophysiology in Disorders of Consciousness: Brain Function Monitoring in the ICU and Beyond
Book SynopsisOver the past two decades, electrophysiology has undergone unprecedented changes thanks to technical improvements, which simplify measurement and analysis and allow more compact data storage. This book covers in detail the spectrum of electrophysiology applications in patients with disorders of consciousness. Its content spans from clinical aspects of the management of subjects in the intensive care unit, including EEG, evoked potentials and related implications in terms of prognosis and patient management to research applications in subjects with ongoing consciousness impairment. While the first section provides up-to-date information for the interested clinician, the second part highlights the latest developments in this exciting field. The book comprehensively combines clinical and research information related to neurophysiology in disorder-of- consciousness patients, making it an easily accessible reference for neuro-ICU specialists, epileptologists and clinical neurophysiologists as well as researchers utilizing EEG and event-related potentials.Trade Review“This book takes an in-depth look at neurophysiologic modalities that may be used in the assessment of disorders of consciousness. … This book is concise and easily interpretable and will appeal to clinicians that care for patients with disorders of consciousness in the acute and chronic states. … Each chapter is well cited, with appropriate use of older and newer references. … This book should serve for a reference guide for any clinician caring for patients with disorders of consciousness.” (Amy Z. Crepeau, Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, Vol. 32 (6), December, 2015)“This is a review of electroencephalography and evoked potentials in both critical care and subacute settings. … New providers treating patients with neurological illnesses and senior practitioners who wish to have a concise monograph to review recent developments in clinical neurophysiology will find this book a worthy introduction. … This is an excellent primer for the important horizon of neurological monitoring and prognostication.” (David J.

Springer Verlag GmbH Advances in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery 11: Proceedings of the 11th Meeting of the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, Antalya 1994
Book SynopsisThis volume contains selected contributions from the XIth Meeting of the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery held in September 1994 in Antalyaffurkey. Most of the papers deal with the many therapeutic and technical advancements made in this field of neurosurgery. The emergence of new stereotactic methodologies such as frameless stereotaxy and other forms of neuronavigation have become an indispensable tool for all types of neurosurgical operations. An increasing number of young neurosurgeons takes an interest in the neurosurgical approaches to the treatment of movement disorders, chronic pain and epilepsy. This is a clear sign ofthe growing awareness of the long neglected fact that these neurosurgical treatments can be offered to large patient populations. Neurotransplantation as a novel treatment of Parkinson's disease has paved the way for the application of this technology for other indications. The pioneering work performed by the late Edward Hitchcock is reviewed here. There is a renewed interest in pallidotomy for dealing with certain forms of Parkinson's disease and certain aspects of this operation are discussed in another paper. Progress in the neurosurgical treatment of pain is dealt with by contributions on refined techniques of percutaneous cordotomy, DREZ operations and critical evaluations of spinal cord stimulation. A novel approach is a report on the experiences of treating cancer pain by intraspinal implantation of chromaffin cells. Several contributions cover the important issues of novel techniques for the study of neural dysfunction, peroperative monitoring with PET, microrecording, magneto-encephalography and other techniques.Table of ContentsHitchcock’s Experimental Series of Foetal Implants for Parkinson’s Disease: Co-Grafting Ventral Mesencephalon and Striatum.- Parkinsonian Rigidity, Dopa-Induced Dyskinesia and Chorea — Dynamic Studies on the Basal Ganglia-Thalamocortical Motor Circuit Using PET Scan and Depth Microrecording.- Anatomic and Physiological Considerations in Pallidotomy for Parkinson’s Disease.- CT Guided Thalamotomy for Movement Disorders in Multiple Sclerosis: Problems and Paradoxes.- Long-Term Clinical, Electrophysiological and Urodynamic Effects of Chronic Intrathecal Baclofen Infusion for Treatment of Spinal Spasticity.- A Neurophysiological Method for the Evaluation of Motor Performance in Spastic Walking Patients.- Microelectrode Monitoring of Cortical and Subcortical Structures During Stereotactic Surgery.- Neurophysiological Monitoring of Cranial Nerves During Posterior Fossa Surgery.- A Frameless Stereotaxic Localisation System Using MRI, CT and DSA.- 3D Laser Scanning for Image Guided Stereotactic Neurosurgery.- Frameless Stereotaxy and Interactive Neurosurgery with the ISG Viewing Wand.- The Impact of Interactive Image Guided Surgery: The Bristol Experience with the ISG/Elekta Viewing Wand.- Stereotactic Endoscopic Interventions in Cystic Brain Lesions.- Neurosurgery for Affective Disorders at Atkinson Morley’s Hospital 1948–1994.- Frontal Cingulotomy Reconsidered from a WGA-HRP and c-Fos Study in Cat.- Localisation of Epileptic Foci with Multichannel Magnetoencephalography, MEG.- Partial Seizures with Onset in Central Area: Use of the Callosal Grid System for Localization.- Pain — Old and New Methods of Study and Treatment.- CT-Guided Pain Procedures for Intractable Pain in Malignancy.- Electrophysiological Monitoring During CT-Guided Percutaneous Cordotomy.- Transplantation of Human Chromaffin Cells for Control of Intractable Cancer Pain.- Severe Peripheral Ischemia After Vasospasm May Be Prevented by Spinal Cord Stimulation.

Springer The Developmental Neurotoxicity of Lead
Book SynopsisOver the past two millennia environmental lead levels have risen dramatically (Patterson, 1980). Most of this increase has occurred since the beginning of the present century (Murozami et 01. , 1969), and taken into perspective, a typical individual living in the industrialized world sustains a lead burden 500 times that of his prehistoric ancestors (Patterson, 1983). Lead is unique in being an environmental pollutant where the levels deemed clinically toxic are less than an order of magnitude from those that are normally encountered in the population. The clinical limit for lead exposure, 70 JLg Pb/tOO ml blood, is about three times the 'normal' value (in the range 15-30 JLg Pb/100ml blood). This small difference is remarkable from the toxicological standpoint. The key concept here is control of dis persal. The industrial actions of man bring contact with a wide variety of substances, some of which are poisonous or dangerous. In such cases pro tective measures are taken to keep hazardous exposure to a minimum. In the of lead compounds, stringent regulations are production and distribution enforced. The exception to this is in the dispersal of lead from vehicle exhausts following purchase from the petrol pump. Perhaps man's long standing acquaintance with lead in home and industry is responsible for a complacency which until only recently has been unquestioned. Beginning in the late 1960s, evidence began to accumulate suggesting that lead at relatively low levels of exposure might be causing negative effects on neurobiological function.Table of Contents1 Introduction.- 2 Lead and man.- 3 Experimental models of lead administration.- 4 The behavioural effects of lead.- 5 The neurochemical effects of lead.- 6 The morphological effects of lead.- 7 Discussion.- 8 References.

Book SynopsisWhat is the difference between right and wrong? Combining cognitive science with a pragmatist philosophical framework, this book argues that appealing solely to absolute principles and values is not only scientifically unsound but even morally suspect.Trade Review"In Morality for Humans, Johnson has his hands on what counts in life: how moral appraisals are not separate from intelligence, aesthetic sensibility, flexibility, imagination, or creativity. In fact, that is how the book unfolds, by showing the interrelationship of these constructs. The end is human flourishing, respect for the unifying sensibilities of our experiences and their complexities, and a positive sense of well-being." (Jay Schulkin, Georgetown University)"

The University of Chicago Press Science and Emotions after 1945
Book SynopsisThrough the first half of the twentieth century, emotions were a legitimate object of scientific study across a variety of disciplines. After 1945, however, in the wake of Nazi irrationalism, emotions became increasingly marginalized and postwar rationalism took central stage. This book chronicles the curious resurgence of emotion studies.Trade Review"In this book of lively essays, the 1950s, with its cold war panic; the 1960s, with its women's movement; and the 1970s, with its totalizing market economies are here shown-along with many other historically salient moments-to be the unexpected catalysts of today's scientific culture. Science and Emotions after 1945 tells us not only why the sciences today are so interested in emotions but also how humanists can critique, use, and transform such insights in their own work on emotions."

In the process we are treated to many fascinating excursions into law, neuroscience, psychology, and evolution.” -- Martha J.
