    • Volume 190
    • English
    Neuropalliative Care, Part One, Volume 190 covers a type of care that is given when there is no cure for the neurological disorder and the patient is in distress. It provides a scholarly background of neuropalliative care, from historic underpinnings to its practice in various geographical regions, along with best practices for specific neurological disorders. It covers the work of multi or interdisciplinary teams whose care is intended to make the patient as comfortable as possible and includes partners and families in treatment plans.

  • Respiratory Neurobiology

    • English
    Respiratory Neurobiology: Physiology and Clinical Disorders, Part Two, Volume 189 is one of two volumes on the neurology of breathing. This volume focuses on pathologies attributable to abnormalities of the neural control of breathing, breathing problems that may occur in neurological diseases, and the neurological complications of respiratory diseases, while volume one focuses on the neurophysiology of breathing.

  • Genetics and Neurobiology of Down Syndrome

    • 1st Edition
    • Bani Bandana Ganguly
    • English
    Genetics and Neurobiology of Down Syndrome provides a thorough review of the genetic etiology and mechanisms of trisomy 21. The author discusses the history of the syndrome, along with the clinical features and health consequences, including physical features, cognitive, and neurologic symptoms. Genetic counseling on pros and cons of prenatal screening and testing and associated ethical issues are explored. This unique book also covers the societal and demographic aspects as well as the future direction of therapeutic development.

  • Handbook of Neuro-Oncology Neuroimaging

    • 3rd Edition
    • Herbert B. Newton
    • English
    With treatment approaches and the field of neuro-oncology neuroimaging changing rapidly, this third edition of the Handbook of Neuro-Oncology Neuroimaging is very relevant to those in the field, providing a single-source, comprehensive, reference handbook of the most up-to-date clinical and technical information regarding the application of neuroimaging techniques to brain tumor and neuro-oncology patients. This new volume will have updates on all of the material from the second edition, and in addition features several new important chapters covering diverse topics such as imaging for the use of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy, advanced imaging techniques in radiation therapy, therapeutic treatment fields, response assessment in clinical trials, surgical planning of neoplastic disease of the spine, and more. Sections first overview neuro-oncological disorders before delving into the physics and basic science of neuroimaging and great focus on CT and MRI. The book then focuses on advances in the neuroimaging of brain tumors and neuroimaging of specific tumor types. There is also discussion of neuroimaging of other neuro-oncological syndromes. This book will serve as a resource of background information to neuroimaging researchers and basic scientists with an interest in brain tumors and neuro-oncology.

  • Autophagy Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia

    • 1st Edition
    • Tadanori Hamano + 1 more
    • English
    Autophagy Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia provides an overview for researchers and clinicians on the mechanisms involved in protein degradation in Alzheimer’s. The book discusses the implication of autophagy dysfunction in these diseases and how it causes degenerated proteins, including aggregated tau and aggregated amyloid protein. Other sections explores the possibilities of potential drug development through autophagy modulation, making this a great resource on the study of how autophagy dysfunction has been linked to the accumulation of misfolded proteins that cause death of neurons in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Cannabis and the Developing Brain

    • 1st Edition
    • Miriam Melis + 1 more
    • English
    Marijuana is the most commonly used psychotropic drug in the United States, after alcohol. With the legalization and decriminalization of cannabis, momentum continues to build and propelled by the reduction of stigma associated to its consumption, there is growing concern regarding the long-term impact on brain function and behavior. Cannabis and the Developing Brain aims to provide comprehensive research on the effects of cannabis during neurodevelopment stages (i.e., perinatal and adolescent ages). This book introduces readers to vivo neural circuits, molecular and cellular mechanisms affected by cannabis exposure during three different temporal windows of brain vulnerability. Second, it offers a unique insight to shared neurobiological features of cannabinoid exposure during different developmental periods. Lastly, Cannabis and the Developing Brain determines the adverse impact of developmental cannabinoid exposure on specific cognition, emotion and behaviors.

  • Sex and Gender Differences in Neurological Disease

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 164
    • English
    International Review on Neurobiology serial highlights new advances in the field with this new volume presenting interesting chapters. Each chapter is written by an international board of authors.

  • L'Adulte avec un trouble dys-exécutif

    L'accompagner dans sa vie quotidienne, sociale et professionnelle
    • 1st Edition
    • Alain Moret
    • French
    Les recommandations pour la prise en charge du trouble dys-exécutif s’adressent à l’enfant, afin de faciliter son éducation et sa scolarité. Le trouble s’améliore parfois avec l’avancée en âge, mais il reste très présent à l’âge adulte. Se pose alors la question de l’autonomie au quotidien en termes de professionnalisation... d’insertion sociale et de citoyenneté pour laquelle l’entourage doit souvent développer ses propres outils car rien n’est formalisé pour accompagner l’adulte.L’ouvrage aborde les différentes situations rencontrées par l’adulte dys-exécutif, des plus anodines de la vie quotidienne aux plus personnelles ou aux plus décisives quant à son style de vie, et propose des solutions pratiques et des conseils d’adaptation ou d’aménagements pour y faire face.Plus que chez l’enfant, les stratégies proposées pour aider l’adulte dys-exécutif dans sa prise d’autonomie sont pensées pour ménager sa personnalité et son libre arbitre.La description des différentes situations intègre à la fois le vécu de l’adulte dys-exécutif et celui d’autrui, en mettant l’accent sur les quiproquos et des interprétations erronées en fonction du contexte qui peuvent générer incompréhension et perte d’estime de soi.L’ouvrage interroge chacun, qu’il soit parent ou professionnel, sur ce que signifie réellement l’inclusion dans un environnement qui n’a pas les clés pour appréhender correctement les interactions avec l’adulte dys-exécutif, la définition de son projet de vie et le respect de sa volonté.

  • The Temporal Lobe

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 187
    • English
    The Temporal Lobe, Volume 187 covers the exponential growth of studies on the relationships between brain and language/cognition, many of which involved the temporal lobe. This volume summarizes research on the anatomy and function of the temporal lobe under both normal and pathological conditions. In addition, it discusses the interactions of the temporal lobe with other brain structures. The book highlights the role of the temporal lobe in language processing as well as vision, object, face recognition and processing. The book also discusses the temporal lobe's role in reading, speech and the processing of color, music, action and memory. Temporal lobe disorders, assessments and treatments are also covered, including encephalitis, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, Korsakov’s syndrome, and more.
