  • Human Sleep and Cognition, Part II

    Clinical and Applied Research
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 190
    • English
    There is a critical, bidirectional relationship between sleep and cognition, yet the literature in this area is scattered, and it is surprisingly difficult to find a comprehensive overview of the basic principles, latest discoveries, and outstanding challenges. This issue of Progress in Brain Research is split over 2 volumes, bringing together cutting-edge research on the topic in the basic, clinical and applied sciences. The 2 volumes review current knowledge and understanding, provide a starting point for researchers and practitioners entering the field, and build a platform for further research and discovery.

  • Advances in the Study of Behavior

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 43
    • English
    Advances in the Study of Behavior was initiated over 40 years ago to serve the increasing number of scientists engaged in the study of animal behavior. That number is still expanding. This volume makes another important "contribution to the development of the field" by presenting theoretical ideas and research to those studying animal behavior and to their colleagues in neighboring fields. Advances in the Study of Behavior is now available online at ScienceDirect full-text online from volume 30 onward.

  • Gene Expression to Neurobiology and Behaviour

    Human Brain Development and Developmental Disorders
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 189
    • English
    How does the genome, interacting with the multi-faceted environment, translate into the development by which the human brain achieves its astonishing, adaptive array of cognitive and behavioral capacities? Why and how does this process sometimes lead to neurodevelopmental disorders with a major, lifelong personal and social impact? This volume of Progress in Brain Research links findings on the structural development of the human brain, the expression of genes in behavioral and cognitive phenotypes, environmental effects on brain development, and developmental processes in perception, action, attention, cognitive control, social cognition, and language, in an attempt to answer these questions.

  • The Retina and its Disorders

    • 1st Edition
    • Joseph Besharse + 1 more
    • English
    This selection of articles from the Encyclopedia of the Eye covering retina, optics/optic nerve and comparative topics constitutes the first reference for scientists, post docs, and graduate students with an interest beyond standard textbook materials. It covers the full spectrum of research on the retina - from the basic biochemistry of how nerve cells are created to information on neurotransmitters, comparisons of the structure and neuroscience of peripheral vision systems in different species, and all the way through to injury repair and other clinical applications.

  • Essential Neuromodulation

    • 1st Edition
    • Jeffrey Arle + 1 more
    • English
    Neuromodulation is an emerging field that explores the use of electrical, chemical, and mechanical interventions to heal neurological deficits. Such neurostimulation has already shown great promise with disorders and diseases such as chronic pain, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. This is the first concise reference covering all of the basic principles of neuromodulation in a single affordable volume for neuro-residents, fellows, and basic clinical practitioners, edited by two prominent clinical experts in the field. This volume emphasizes essential observations from all of the important clinical phases involved in any neuromodulation: targeting, intraoperative assessment, programming, complications, and complication avoidance. There are commonalities to all neuromodulation procedures that must be brought to the forefront to form a cohesive presentation of neuromodulation, and such emphasis will give readers a more solid grounding in the fundamentals needed to embrace this field as a cohesive clinical entity.

  • La maladie de Parkinson

    • 2nd Edition
    • Luc Defebvre + 1 more
    • French
    La maladie de Parkinson est, après la maladie d'Alzheimer, l'affection neurologique la plus répandue au sein de la population après 50 ans. Elle touche près de 2% des personnes de plus de 65 ans. Ce pourcentage augmentant avec l'âge, on peut prévoir qu'avec le vieillissement de la population, le nombre de patients ne cessera d'augmenter dans les années à venir. Cette deuxième édition rend compte de façon didactique des avancées de ces cinq dernières années, en abordant de façon exhaustive tous les aspects de cette pathologie : l'épidémiologie, l'étiopathogénie, les aspects génétiques, la physiopathologie, les signes moteurs et non moteurs, notamment les troubles cognitifs, psychiques et comportementaux. Sont aussi détaillés les critères diagnostiques, les échelles et questionnaires d'évaluation, la place de l'imagerie morphologique et fonctionnelle ainsi que les stratégies thérapeutiques actuelles : médicamenteuses, chirurgicales, rééducatives et orthophoniques.

  • Ocular Periphery and Disorders

    • 1st Edition
    • Darlene A. Dartt + 5 more
    • English
    This selection of articles from the Encyclopedia of the Eye is the first single-volume overview presenting articles on the function, biology, physiology, and pathology of the structures of the ocular periphery, as well as the related disorders and their treatment. The peripheral structures are implicated in a number of important diseases, including optic neuritis, thyroid eye disease, and strabismus. The volume offers a basic science background of these topics rather than a strictly clinical focus.

  • Animal Behavior / Field and Laboratory Exercises in Animal Behavior (SET)

    • 1st Edition
    • Michael D. Breed + 1 more
    • English
    Animal Behavior/Field and Laboratory Exercises in Animal Behavior (SET) provides a solid background in the neurophysiological and endocrinological bases of animal behavior. This specially priced set includes a copy of Breed and Moore, Animal Behavior and Tillberg/Breed/Hinne... Field and Laboratory Exercises in Animal Behavior. The textbook covers the broad sweep of animal behavior from its neurological underpinnings to the importance of behavior in conservation. Chapters cover behavior and homeostatic mechanisms, behavior and conservation, and behavioral aspects of disease. An entire chapter is devoted to the vibrant new field of behavior and conservation, including topics such as social behavior and the relationship between parasites, pathogens and behavior. Thoughtful coverage is also given to foraging behavior, mating and parenting behavior, anti-predator behavior and learning. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and concludes with thought-provoking questions. Furthermore, special terms and definitions are highlighted throughout. The laboratory manual guides students through the diverse and fascinating fields of behavioral and ethological studies, employing a wide array of organisms as model systems for the study of behavior. Students participate in the development of hypothesis and turn the recording, analysis, and interpretation of data into an active and engaging process. There is also a companion site for faculty and students to enhance their learning experience at: www.elsevierdirect.c... This book will appeal to advanced graduate and undergraduate students in animal behaviour, ethology, and behavioral ecology courses.

  • Pharmacology of 5-HT6 receptors, Part II

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 96
    • English
    The serotonin 5-HT6 receptor represents a novel pharmacological target whose impact on physiopathology of CNS functions remains undetermined. Some receptor antagonists have been synthesized, and they show a modulatory role in learning and memory processes and food intake. The pharmacology of 5-HT6 receptor agonists is still under evaluation. However, both 5-HT6 antagonists and agonists seem to exert potential antidepressant activity. Recently, a second messenger system has been discovered. 5-HT6 receptor function is becoming more and more intriguing. Thus, the aim of the present book is to try to clarify the pharmacology of 5-HT6 receptors.

  • Immunology, Inflammation and Diseases of the Eye

    • 1st Edition
    • Darlene A. Dartt + 3 more
    • English
    This selection of articles from the Encyclopedia of the Eye provides a comprehensive overview of immunological features, diseases and inflammation of the eye and its support structures and organs. Rather than taking an immunological focus that is strictly suitable for clinicians, the volume offers a considerable basic science background and addresses a broad range of topics - the immune system of the eye, its various disorders, mechanisms of inflammation of the eye and visual system, treatment, wound healing mechanisms, stem cells, and more.
