World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Compendium Of In Vivo Monitoring In Real-time
Book SynopsisVolume 1 of this series focused mainly on small molecules which are intrinsically electroactive. Volume 2 continues to provide current approaches to real time measurements of essential species in the central nervous system. It describes microdialysis, a sampling technique, which facilitates the removal of small volumes of solution containing the analyte(s) of interest which can be subsequently separated by chromatography and analyzed by a range of techniques. These include electrochemistry, UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence and mass spectroscopy. This approach affords the opportunity to measure a range of targets in real-time thus providing access to pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics measurements affording the possibility of measuring the disappearance of a drug after administration and the subsequent appearance of metabolites. Microdialysis further affords the ability to sample peptides and proteins of neurobiological interest.Consistent with the goals of Volume 1, Volume 2 seeks to provide for scientists in the field of neurobiology a base of bioanalytical techniques that may not be familiar to them. Specific examples are provided and the fundamental basis of the technique is also covered.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Cultural Patterns And Neurocognitive Circuits Ii:
Book SynopsisThe contents of this book continues the theme as in the previous volume on cultural patterns and cognitive patterns in the East and West, with special regard to those patterns which are determined by our natural-genetic endownments in contrast to those patterns which are influenced by our cultural ('East-West') influences, and within this context a unique flavour is given to the 'good life' aspects of adapting to this global community.The chapters written by leading neuroscientists, give an overarching picture from the elementary organisational principles of the human brain through the basic perceptual and motor functions of the brain to the highest levels of cognition, including aesthetical or moral judgments, with an eye on what can be called 'good life' in both Eastern and Western cultures. A unique compilation of state-of-the-art overviews of how the human brain is organised and functions in order to achieve high level of social, moral or aesthetic thoughts across cultures.Published in collaboration with Institute Para Limes.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Brain-behavior Continuum, The: The Subtle
Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive overview of the main current concepts in brain cognitive activities at the global, collective (or network) level, with a focus on transitions between normal neurophysiology and brain pathological states. It provides a unique approach of linking molecular and cellular aspects of normal and pathological brain functioning with their corresponding network, collective and dynamical manifestations that are subsequently extended to behavioral manifestations of healthy and diseased brains. This book introduces a high-level perspective, searching for simplification amongst the structural and functional complexity of nervous systems by consideration of the distributed interactions that underlie the collective behavior of the system. The authors hope that this approach could promote a global comprehensive understanding of high-level laws behind the elementary biological processes in the neuroscientific community, while, perhaps, introducing elements of biological complexities to the mathematical/computational readership. The title of the book refers to the main point of the monograph: that there is a smooth continuum between distinct brain activities resulting in different behaviors, and that, due to the plastic nature of the brain, the behavior can also alter the brain function, thus rendering artificial the boundaries between the brain and its behavior.Table of ContentsBasic Principles of Nervous System Activity and Functional; The Dynamical Perspective on Nervous System Activity; Epilepsy: The Transition to Seizures; Parkinson's Disease: Transition Between Sensorimotor Coordination Patterns; Suddent and Subtle Transitions in Altered States of Consciousness; Psychiatric Deviations; Societal Views on Brain and Behaviour.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Decision Making: A Psychophysics Application Of
Book SynopsisThis invaluable book captures the proceedings of a workshop that brought together a group of distinguished scientists from a variety of disciplines to discuss how networking influences decision making. The individual lectures interconnect psychological testing, the modeling of neuron networks and brain dynamics to the transport of information within and between complex networks. Of particular importance was the introduction of a new principle that governs how complex networks talk to one another — the Principle of Complexity Management (PCM). PCM establishes that the transfer of information from a stimulating complex network to a responding complex network is determined by how the complexity indices of the two networks are related. The response runs the gamut from being independent of the perturbation to being completely dominated by it, depending on the complexity mismatch.Table of ContentsOverview of ARO Program on Network Science for Human Decision Making; Viewing the Extended Mind Hypothesis in Terms of Complex Systems Dynamics; Uncertainty in Psychophysics; The Collective Brain; Acquiring Long-Range Memory Through Adaptive Avalanches; Random Walks on Complex Networks; Coherence and Complexity; Quakes in Complex Systems as a Signature of Cooperation; Renewal Processes in the Critical Brain; The Principle of Complexity Management.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Biophysics Of Consciousness: A Foundational
Book SynopsisThe problem of how the brain produces consciousness, subjectivity and 'something it is like to be' remains one of the greatest challenges to a complete science of the natural world. While various scientists and philosophers approach the problem from their own unique perspectives and in the terms of their own respective fields, Biophysics of Consciousness: A Foundational Approach attempts a consilience across disparate disciplines to explain how it is possible that an objective brain produces subjective experience.This volume unites the crème de la crème of physicists, neuroscientists, and psychiatrists in the attempt to understand consciousness through a foundational approach encompassing ontological, evolutionary, neurobiological, and Freudian interpretations with the focus on conscious phenomena occurring in the brain. By integrating the perspectives of these diverse disciplines with the latest research and theories on the biophysics of the brain, the book tries to explain how consciousness can be an adaptive and causal element in the natural world.Table of ContentsPreface; Foreword (Searle); List of Contributors; Neurobiological Naturalism (Feinberg and Mallatt); The Evolutionary Origins of Consciousness (Feinberg and Mallatt); How Language Evolution Reshaped Human Consciousness (Arbib); A Neuropsychoanalytical Approach to The Hard Problem of Consciousness (Solms); Can Qualitative Biophysics Solve the Hard Problem?
