    Health Neuroscience is a new interdisciplinary field encompassing research from cognitive, affective, and social neuroscience, health psychology, physical and mental health, and science of behavior change. This new field addresses the longstanding gap among neuroscience, health, and behavior change within the context of health promotion.Fundamenta... of Health Neuroscience explores key topics and research, including basic principles, psychological and neural processes, brain and body interactions, and gene x brain x environment interactions. This book also covers brain-based precision prevention and intervention strategies for health decisions and promotion across the lifespan. Chapters integrate the latest research findings and explores several key topics, such as: How does the brain serve both as a predictor and an outcome of health? How can people improve self-control and achieve physical and mental health effectively? What does brain plasticity and resilience tell us about optimal learning, performance, and development throughout our life? How is the sense of meaning in life affected by dopamine and reward systems in the brain?

  • Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Neurologic Diseases

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 202
    • English
    Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Neurological Diseases (HSCT), Volume 201 provides the latest information on what has been evaluated as a possible therapeutic tool in severe autoimmune diseases for the last 20 years. In the neurological field, HSCT has been widely investigated for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and evidence is accumulating about its potential use in neuromyelitis optica, stiff person syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and many immune neuropathies. Besides their strong clinical relevance, studies on HSCT in neurological diseases have contributed to new insights on the pathological mechanisms underlying CNS autoimmunity, hence this volume summarizes that research.

  • Neuropsychological and Psychosocial Foundations of Neuro-Oncology

    • 1st Edition
    • Herbert B. Newton + 1 more
    • English
    Neuropsychological and Psychosocial Foundations of Neuro-Oncology provides an in-depth review of common cognitive, psychological, and social manifestations that occur in patients with brain cancer and other neuro-oncological issues. Chapters discuss primary CNS tumors, brain metastases, leptomeningeal disease, paraneoplastic disorders, and many other topics. Effects of CNS and systemic cancer treatment (i.e., radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy) are also examined, as are current practices for rehabilitation and targets for essential future interventions in vulnerable populations.This book is fully illustrated with pathology photomicrographs, CT and MRI images, tables, and molecular pathway diagrams. Bringing neuropsychological and behavioral health trial knowledge from the bench to the bedside, this volume is an essential reference for practicing neuro-oncologists, neuropsychologists, nurses, and others working in the field of neuro-oncology.

  • Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management through Clinical Cases

    • 1st Edition
    • Martijn Beudel
    • English
    Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management through Clinical Cases reviews the clinical practice of applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to patients with movement disorders. The book explores the cardinal aspects of applying DBS in diverse movement disorders based on patient’s needs. Every case answers all questions, providing case descriptions and step-by-step procedures for optimal replication. Every chapter includes a clinical decision support system (CDSS) depicted in flowcharts that can be used for reference. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) uses electrical stimulation to regulate electrical signals in neural circuits to and from identified areas in the brain to improve movement symptoms.The management of DBS in a movement disorders can be challenging, optimizing patient journeys and grasping all clinical aspects of the highly technological therapy. Hence, this book provides the informaiton necessary to embrace new breakthroughs.
