Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first two editions of this title had a tremendous impact in neuroscience. Between the Second edition in 1989 and today, there has been an explosion of information in the field, including advances in molecular techniques, such as genomics and proteomics, which have become increasing important in neuroscience. A renaissance in fluorescence has occurred, driven by the development of new probes, new microscopes, live imagers, and computer processing. The introduction of new markers has enormously stimulated the field, moving it from tissue culture to neurophysiology to functional MRI techniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Times of dramatic progress in brain research have often been correlated with the development of new and powerful techniques that have changed the kinds of questions one can ask. An historical example may illustrate the point. More than 50 years ago, Nissl studies (Ferraro, 1928) showed that extensive forebrain lesions resulted in chromatolysis and cell loss in the sub stantia nigra; thus, it was suggested that the substantia nigra gave rise to projections into the basal forebrain. In the late 1950s, another clue emerged, this time linking observations from the field of neuropathology with a dis covery in experimental neuropharmacology (Carlsson, 1959a,b; Ehringer and Hornykiewicz, 1960). It had long been recognized that patients with Par kinson's disease suffered neuronal loss in the substantia nigra and that their symptoms were somehow related to striatal dysfunction. Thus, when flu orescent catecholamine assays were developed and combined with pharma cological and neuropathological studies of Parkinson's disease, the dopamin ergic nature of the illness was shown. A bit later, Falck and Hillarp (Falck et at. , 1962) developed a fluorescent histochemical method to visualize mono amine-containing cells in the brain; this technique was soon applied to show that the rich dopaminergic terminal field in the striatum derived from neu rons in the substantia nigra (Anden et at. , 1964). In the following decade, refinements in the histofluorescent method and the development of sensitive silver impregnation methods permitted a detailed light microscopic explo ration of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal system.

Download or read book Brain Repair After Stroke written by Steven C. Cramer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-28 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing evidence identifies the possibility of restoring function to the damaged brain via exogenous therapies. One major target for these advances is stroke, where most patients can be left with significant disability. Treatments have the potential to improve the victim's quality of life significantly and reduce the time and expense of rehabilitation. Brain Repair After Stroke reviews the biology of spontaneous brain repair after stroke in animal models and in humans. Detailed chapters cover the many forms of therapy being explored to promote brain repair and consider clinical trial issues in this context. This book provides a summary of the neurobiology of innate and treatment-induced repair mechanisms after hypoxia and reviews the state of the art for human therapeutics in relation to promoting behavioral recovery after stroke. Essential reading for stroke physicians, neurologists, rehabilitation physicians and neuropsychologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Brain Network Analysis is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to methods for unraveling the extraordinary complexity of neuronal connectivity. From the perspective of graph theory and network science, this book introduces, motivates and explains techniques for modeling brain networks as graphs of nodes connected by edges, and covers a diverse array of measures for quantifying their topological and spatial organization. It builds intuition for key concepts and methods by illustrating how they can be practically applied in diverse areas of neuroscience, ranging from the analysis of synaptic networks in the nematode worm to the characterization of large-scale human brain networks constructed with magnetic resonance imaging. This text is ideally suited to neuroscientists wanting to develop expertise in the rapidly developing field of neural connectomics, and to physical and computational scientists wanting to understand how these quantitative methods can be used to understand brain organization. Extensively illustrated throughout by graphical representations of key mathematical concepts and their practical applications to analyses of nervous systems Comprehensively covers graph theoretical analyses of structural and functional brain networks, from microscopic to macroscopic scales, using examples based on a wide variety of experimental methods in neuroscience Designed to inform and empower scientists at all levels of experience, and from any specialist background, wanting to use modern methods of network science to understand the organization of the brain

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry presents the anatomical systems that take part in the scientific and clinical study of emotional functions and neuropsychiatric disorders. It discusses the limbic system—the cortical and subcortical structures in the human brain involved in emotion, motivation, and emotional association with memory—at length and how this is no longer a useful guide to the study of psychiatric disorders. The book provides an understanding of brain anatomy, with an emphasis on the new anatomical framework which has emerged during the last quarter century. The goal is to help the reader develop an understanding of the gross anatomical organization of the human forebrain. A re-evaluation of brain anatomy, with an emphasis on the new anatomical framework which has emerged during the last quarter century A compellingly expanded conceptualization of Broca's famous limbic lobe Clinical and basic science boxes highlighting specific concepts, structures, or neuronal circuits from a clinical perspective
