Brain Maps
Structure of the Rat Brain
L. W. Swanson
editore: Academic Press Inc
pagine: 215
For neuroscientists, particularly those studying neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and molecular biology, a detailed atlas of the rat brain is essential for any laboratory. This updated edition of "Brain Maps: Structure of the Rat Brain" provides atlas maps aligned in 3-dimensional space and created using color photomicrographs of histological sections based on a single rat brain. Where other atlases use multiple brains as models, the use of a single brain allows for true 3-D reconstruction. The atlas employs color coding of the major parts of the brain and extends this coding system to the atlas levels, flatmaps, and nomenclature tables for easier reference. With systematic nomenclature tables, references to the primary research literature for all of the structures, coverage of the neuroanatomical methods and mapping, and an accompanying CD-ROM of all of the atlas maps, this is a reference every laboratory should have on-hand. It provides systematic treatment of the anatomy of the rat brain, based on a single brain model. It is updated to reflect new data about brain regionalization. It includes CD-ROM with all of the brain maps.
Gene Therapy of the Central Nervous System
From Bench to Bedside
Matthew During , Michael G. Kaplitt
editore: Academic Press Inc
pagine: 370
Few areas of biomedical research provide greater opportunities for radically new therapies for devastating diseases that have evaded treatment so far than gene therapy. This is particularly true for the brain and nervous system, where gene transfer has become a key technology for basic research and has recently been translated to human therapy in several landmark clinical trials. "Gene Therapy of the Central Nervous System: From Bench to Bedside" represents the first definitive volume on this subject. Edited by two pioneers of neurological gene therapy, this volume contains contributions by leaders who helped create this field and are expanding the promise of gene therapy for the future of basic and clinical neuroscience. Drawing upon this extensive collective experience, this book provides clear and informative reviews on a variety of subjects of interest to anyone exploring or using gene therapy for neurobiological applications in research and clinical praxis. This work presents gene transfer technologies with particular emphases upon novel vehicles, immunological issues and the role of gene therapy in stem cells.
It discusses preclinical areas that are likely to translate into clinical studies in the near future, including epilepsy, pain and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It includes 'insider' information on technological and regulatory issues which can often limit effective translation of even the most promising idea into clinical use.
Cranial Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroanatomy
Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography
Hans-Joachim Kretscmann , Wolfgang Weinrich
editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 451
In the ten years since publication of the second edition, the diagnostic information provided by new imaging methods (CT, MRI, PET, US) has improved significantly. Clinicians and specialists must master three-dimensional neuroanatomy of the head in order to localize and interpret pathological symptoms and findings. As in the previous editions, the drawings presented here depict anatomic structures in shades of gray similar to the way they are seen in CT and MR images. All drawings of the atlas portion of the book have been made from cadaver sections. This book is designed as a practical tool. The illustrations of the neurofunctional systems as they are localized in the tomographic planes are meant to orient the reader as to their localization in CT, MR and PET images. They also make it possible to extrapolate the clinical symptoms which correlate to the pathological CT and MR findings. The new, third edition includes both T1 and T2 weighted MR images, as well as enhanced detail throughout.

Cerebrovascular Disease, Cognitive Impairment and Dementia

e altri
editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 256
When discussing dementia, the medical literature tends to focus on Alzheimer's disease, leaving other dementias, such as those relating to cerebrovascular disease, somewhat neglected, despite being a common cause of cognitive decline in later life. However, in recent years there has been a remarkable transformation in our knowledge about the role of vascular factors in cognitive decline and dementia. It is now recognized that cerebrovascular disease influences clinical expression of cognitive and non cognitive features in a variety of cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer's disease itself.Cerebrovascular Disease, Cognitive Impairment and Dementia reviews what is now known about the relationship between cerebrovascular disease and dementia. It describes new knowledge of how vascular processes interact with neuro-degenerative ones, and how both appear to be risk factors for the other. The book contains contributions from leading international experts and covers epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical features, investigations (including neuroimaging), management, and service and caregiver issues.
The second edition of this pioneering text is completely revised and emphasizes the primary and secondary prevention of cerebrovascular disease and the treatment of cognitive impairment. A truly comprehensive yet accessible text which puts basic research findings in a clinically relevant context, this book will appeal to psychiatrists, neurologists, geriatricians, allied health professionals, and others involved in the care of patients with cognitive impairment and dementia.
Deep Brain Stimulation and Epilepsy
Hans O. Luders
editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 384
Deep brain stimulation has been used effectively for many years to treat patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. Now, neurologists and neurosurgeons are using electric pulse generators to block abnormal activity, i.e. epileptic fits. Promising research results indicate that electric pulses implanted deep in the brain can affect neurocircuitry and help stop oncoming seizures. Supplying a solid background on brain stimulation and its application to epilepsy, Deep Brain Stimulation and Epilepsy provides a historical overview, explores pathogenesis of brain stimulation, discusses animal experiments and human studies, and explores future prospects of brain stimulation for epileptic control. The editor and his team of contributors distill information drawn directly from the literature into one convenient resource.

Mind over Matter
Regulation of Peripheral Inflammation by the CNS
Christoph Stein , Michael Schafer
editore: Birkhauser Verlag AG
pagine: 215
Several new developments in the field of neuroimmunology with focus on the brain-to-immune system communication have been the incentive for this PIR volume. It covers topics such as brain-immune interactions, the impact of stress on the immune response, pain and immunosuppression, the modulation of inflammation and pain by the sympathetic nervous system, consequences of nerve injury for the immune system, neuronal mechanisms of immune cell recruitment, and the modulation of the immune response by corticotropin-releasing hormone or adenosine. The authors are a unique group of scientists who are all interested in brain-to-immune interactions; however, each from a different perspective. The volume will serve both neurobiologists and immunologists to understand the influence of the central nervous system on peripheral inflammation. Many aspects of this book will also be stimulating for researchers in the pain field.
