    • English
    Neuroepidemiology in Tropical Health covers major neurological diseases of relevance in tropical settings and examines the specificities of epidemiology of neurological diseases in the context of tropical countries that face many challenges when compared to the developed world. Part One focuses on methods and their eventual specificities, and how such methods, like sampling, can be adapted for specific scenarios. Parts Two and Three discuss environmental factors and their consequences for neurology in the tropical world, as well as large geographical areas and their specificities. Finally, Part Four presents relevant neurological diseases in in-depth chapters. This invaluable information will help readers recognize the various neurological conditions presented, with the inclusion of their aetiologies and treatment in tropical areas. The book therefore fills a gap in the neuroepidemiology literature, with chapters written by an international collection of experienced authors in the field.

  • The Complex Connection between Cannabis and Schizophrenia

    • 1st Edition
    • Michael T. Compton + 1 more
    • English
    The Complex Connection between Cannabis and Schizophrenia provides an in-depth overview of the current state of research into the role that cannabis plays in schizophrenia, covering both the pathophysiological and the pharmacological implications. It addresses the epidemiology of cannabis use and the risks associated with its use, the biological aspects of the drug, its effects on the brain and the pharmacological possibilities of using cannabidiol to treat schizophrenia. It is the only book on the market devoted exclusively to examining the links between this very commonly used (and misused) drug and a specific set of devastating psychiatric illnesses, providing a comprehensive guide to our current understandings of this relationship. Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug globally, and is becoming increasingly decriminalized and even legalized worldwide. Among the numerous mental-health concerns related to the drug, there is mounting evidence of an intricate link between cannabis use and schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. At the same time, there is promising evidence to suggest that cannabidiol, one of the many compounds found in cannabis that activates the brain’s cannabinoid receptors, could prove to be an effective antipsychotic to treat schizophrenia.

  • Vital Models

    The Making and Use of Models in the Brain Sciences
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 233
    • English
    The use of models has been important to the historical and contemporary study of the human brain, yet very little study by social scientists has been dedicated to how the brain sciences develop and use models to better understand what brains are and how they work, including the complex entanglements between brains, bodies and their environments. Vital Models: The Making and Use of Models in the Brain Sciences explores the history and use of brain models from clinical psychiatry to psychopharmacology and cybernetics, as well as developments in digital brain modeling, simulation, imaging and connectomics. This timely volume helps both scientists and students better understand the variety, strengths, weaknesses and applicability of models in neuroscience.

  • Comprendre la paralysie cérébrale et les troubles associés

    Évaluations et traitements
    • 2nd Edition

    • French
    Comprendre la paralysie cérébrale et les troubles associés est une refonte du livre précédent sur les infirmités motrices cérébrales. Son originalité réside dans le fait qu’il s’engage sur la voie du pronostic autant clinique qu’humain. L’approche médicale est large, de l’atteinte neuromotrice, orthopédique, des troubles de la santé aux facteurs de dysfonctionnement psychologique et/ou neuropsychologique. La recherche d’indices pronostiques dépend d’éléments cliniques déjà validés et s’appuie aussi sur des connaissances scientifiques récentes, comme la plasticité cérébrale.La parole donnée aux adultes en situation de handicap, voire aux familles, permet de suivre la pertinence de l’application des décisions thérapeutiques qu’ils ont vécues. Leurs témoignages indiquent leur dynamique pour trouver une qualité de vie personnalisée et leur volonté de trouver des contacts humains élargis. Des textes complémentaires, des références ainsi que des séquences vidéos montrant les divers aspects de la prise en charge en rééducation et en chirurgie orthopédique sont proposés en ligne. Coécrit par des équipes multidisciplinaires et référentes – médecins de médecine physique et de réadaptation (MPR), pédiatres, chirurgiens, rééducateurs, psychologues, scientifiques –, cet ouvrage a été coordonné par le docteur Danièle Truscelli.
