Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a therapy in neurological and psychiatric disorders is applied widely. In this respect, DBS in animal models is performed to study the underlying mechanisms and to evaluate new indications and technology. This chapter summarizes our experience with DBS in animal models, and relevant literature. Electrodes for DBS in animal models have been developed using translational principles, to allow DBS under anesthesia and in freely moving conditions. The stimulation parameters have been adjusted for the animals using current density calculations. This paradigm of experimental DBS has been validated in a variety of animal models of neurological and psychiatric disorders. During the process of development and validation of DBS in animal models, specific problems have been encountered, which are discussed in the chapter. DBS in animal models is an adequate paradigm to explore the underlying mechanisms and new indications for DBS, and to refine DBS technology.

Download or read book Drug Discovery for Psychiatric Disorders written by Zoran Rankovic and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery and development of effective medicines for the treatment of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression has been heralded as one of the great medical achievements of the past century. Indeed, the profound impact of these medicines on our understanding of the pathophysiology underlying these diseases, the treatment of psychiatric patients and even our social perception of mental illnesses cannot be underestimated. However, there is still an urgent medical need for even more effective, safe and well-tolerated treatments. For example, currently available treatments for schizophrenia address mainly the positive symptoms and largely neglect the negative symptoms and cognitive disfunction which greatly impact overall morbidity. Similarly, whilst the current first line antidepressants show significantly improved side effect profiles compared to the first generation therapies, there still up to 40% of patients who are treatment resistant, and even in the patient population which responds well, the onset of action is slow at typically 2-3 weeks. The aim of this book is to provide the first point of call for those involved or just interested in this rapidly expanding and increasingly fragmented field of research and drug discovery. The editors will combine their wide ranging experience and extensive network of contacts with leading scientists and opinion leaders in this field to provide an authoritative reference text covering the evolution, major advances, challenges and future directions in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry for major psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, addiction and autism.

Download or read book Use of Laboratory Animals in Biomedical and Behavioral Research written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific experiments using animals have contributed significantly to the improvement of human health. Animal experiments were crucial to the conquest of polio, for example, and they will undoubtedly be one of the keystones in AIDS research. However, some persons believe that the cost to the animals is often high. Authored by a committee of experts from various fields, this book discusses the benefits that have resulted from animal research, the scope of animal research today, the concerns of advocates of animal welfare, and the prospects for finding alternatives to animal use. The authors conclude with specific recommendations for more consistent government action.

This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Echnology development and the investigation of new disease indications in neuromodulation is accelerating in the past decade. Non-invasive and invasive technologies are moving in an unusually rapid pace from the bench-side to the bedside. There are many renewed focuses on mechanisms of actions and new targets that are closely connecting the basic and clinical research. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are somewhat disrupting but also infusing new excitements to the traditional models of experiments and clinical trials. This Research Topic on “Neuromodulation in Neurological Diseases: New Technology, Unconventional Ideas and Advances” collects articles that span pre-clinical, translational, clinical and population sciences in various formats of neuromodulation.

Download or read book Non Invasive Neuromodulation of the Central Nervous System written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on advances in biotechnology and neuroscience, non-invasive neuromodulation devices are poised to gain clinical importance in the coming years and to be of increasing interest to patients, clinicians,health systems, payers, and industry. Evidence suggests that both therapeutic and non-therapeutic applications of non-invasive neuromodulation will continue to expand in coming years, particularly for indications where treatments are currently insufficient, such as drug-resistant depression. Given the growing interest in non-invasive neuromodulation technologies, the Institute of Medicine's Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders convened a workshop, inviting a range of stakeholders - including developers of devices and new technologies, researchers, clinicians, ethicists, regulators, and payers - to explore the opportunities, challenges, and ethical questions surrounding the development, regulation, and reimbursement of these devices for the treatment of nervous system disorders as well as for non-therapeutic uses, including cognitive and functional enhancement. This report highlights the presentation and discussion of the workshop.
