Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology series, the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Neurophysiology includes sections that provide a summary of the basic science underlying neurophysiological techniques, a description of the techniques themselves, including normal values, and a description of the use of the techniques in clinical situations. Much of diagnostic neurophysiology is essentially pattern recognition which is illustrated throughout the text using audio and video examples.

Download or read book Clinical Neurophysiology written by Devon I. Rubin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 1137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Clinical neurophysiology is the neurology subspecialty that focuses on the electrical activity within the nervous system. In all realms and types of testing performed in the practice of clinical neurophysiology, electrical signals that are spontaneously or intrinsically generated or induced by external stimulation are recorded and analyzed to determine the integrity and function of the central and peripheral systems. The underlying basis of all signals ultimately reflects the function of the neurons at a cellular level. Thus, while the clinical neurophysiologist focuses on the interpretation of these signals during testing in the laboratory, hospital, or operating room, a solid understanding of the function of each of the contributing cellular structures from which the signals are generated is necessary. This chapter reviews the basic principles underlying the activity of excitable cells as they apply to the basic neurophysiology of neurons and myocytes"--

Download or read book Essentials of Neurophysiology written by Michel J.A.M. van Putten and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we approach neurophysiology at the interface of neurology and clinical neurophysiology. The medical disciplines of the nervous system, n- rology and clinical neurophysiology, rest heavily on other sciences, notably cellular biology, neuro-anatomy, neuro-physiology, applied physics and ma- ematical biology. Existing medical textbooks on neurophysiology, neurology and clinical neurophysiology are an excellent source of the phenomenology of various principles and diseases. Here, we choose to elucidate some of the under- ing physiological, physical processes and experimental methods, intended for a broad audience – medical residents and students, as well as students in the emerging area of medical technical sciences. We feel that a good understanding of fundamentals may signi?cantly - hance insight into various aspects of clinical neurology and clinical neu- physiology. This book, therefore, is focused on a selection of clinical signs and symptoms to highlight basic principles of neurology, (neuro-)physiology and neuroanatomy. While we believe this text to be of interest to medical students or residents in neurology or clinical neurophysiology, we speci?cally aim at students - terested in contributing to new developments and innovations in neurology and clinical neurophysiology. These students are involved with patients, even though they are not trained for routine patient care.

This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evoked potentials have been used for decades to assess neurologic function in outpatient studies and are now routinely used in the operating room during surgery. Illustrated Manual of Clinical Evoked Potentials is a modern, practical guide to performing these studies and interpreting the results. The book is uniquely organized as a singular resource that provides the necessary background for understanding and conducting evoked potential studies. It functions as a multi-purpose text, atlas, and reading session, with numerous examples of studies and findings and discussion of key takeaways. Divided into five chapters, the book opens with an introduction to the basics of data acquisition and interpretation that lays the foundation for the modality-specific chapters that follow. The next group of chapters are in-depth reviews of visual, brainstem auditory, and somatosensory evoked potentials. Each of these chapters lays out the specifics of the modality and study protocol with examples to show how things should—and should not—be done. Sample studies with discussions about how to interpret them highlight a particular aspect of normalcy or pathology. Imaging correlates are provided to emphasize salient points and offer perspective. The final chapter is an overview of the use of evoked potentials during surgery with imaging and case discussions to introduce the reader to this very important application. Key Features Detailed review of methodology of evoked potential studies Many examples of actual patient studies with imaging correlates Interpretation of each evoked potential study presented in detail “Reading session”-like discussion of each example Special chapter on evoked potentials in the operating room

Download or read book Neurophysiology and Psychophysiology written by G. C. Galbraith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, in several respects this book is a tribute to the outstanding career of the late Donald B. Lindsley (1907-2003) who, over a span of more than 55 years, had contributed greatly to the development of research in the fields of neurophysiology, psychophysiology, and experimental psychology. The impetus for the book was a conference held at UCLA to honor Professor Lindsley for his numerous and significant contributions to psychology. The chapters of this book have been written by Professor Lindsley’s colleagues and co-workers, and by former students and postdoctoral fellows. The introductory chapter, written by Lindsley himself, tells of 2000 years of "pondering". The chapter is a discussion of the lengthy history of neurophysiology, psychophysiology, and behaviour. Many of the topics mentioned in this chapter are subsequently presented in the book as reports of ongoing research in the field.
