Download or read book The Behavioral Neurology of White Matter written by Christopher M. Filley Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry and Director of the Behavioral Neurology Section University of Colorado School of Medicine and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001-09-10 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book examines the role of the brain's white matter in the organization of human mental function. In contrast to standard textbooks of behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry that emphasize the cortical and subcortical gray matter in brain-behavior relationships, this text specifically considers the white matter as a vital contributor to cognition and emotion. Written from a clinical perspective, this book is founded on the study of patients with neurobehavioral syndromes resulting from disorders primarily affecting the brain's white matter. These syndromes include white matter dementia, focal neurobehavioral syndromes, and a variety of neuropsychiatric syndromes. In the first part of the book, fundamental aspects of myelinated systems are covered to introduce white matter as an important structural and functional component of the brain. In Part II, a thorough review of white matter disorders at all ages is provided, particularly regarding their impact on normal mentation. Finally, Part III synthesizes the collected information into a coherent summary that presents a behavioral neurology of white matter. Throughout the book a major emphasis is placed on distributed neural networks, in which connecting white matter tracts complement the operations of gray matter structures in the production of the human behavioral repertoire.

This book was released on 2019-05-19 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paxinos and Franklin's The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Compact Fifth Edition, is the compact version of the most widely used and cited atlas of the mouse brain in print. It emulates in design and accuracy Paxinos and Watson’s The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, the most cited publication in neuroscience. The compact edition provides the coronal plates and diagrams of the full mouse atlas in a smaller, more convenient spiral format and at a student friendly price. High resolution digital photographs of the coronal plane of section from the full 5th edition complement the coronal drawings. Unique to the compact, it includes an introduction to the use of the atlas in stereotaxic surgery. Contains 100 coronal diagrams that were fully revised for this new edition Includes 100 coronal photographic plates produced from directly scanned, very high-resolution images of the biological sections (done at the Allen Institute) Provides a beginner's guide with 25 pages on conducting stereotaxic surgery and how to use the atlas Presents surface views of the brain with labels over the major structures Uses the best ontology tree (nomenclature based on the development of the brain) with universal applications across mammals

Download or read book Neuropathology written by Colin L. Berry and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing specialisation in pathology reflects the progressive changes in medical practise. The advent of a specialist with a new interest in a hospital or clinic may present the pathologist with a need to extend his or her knowledge to be able to work closely with the clinical practi tioner in order to provide adequate clinical care. Some sub-specialisations are long established, such a one is neu ropathology. However, an exclusive specialist practise is generally con fined to neurosurgical centres and much neuropathology is of necessity, executed by geneni.l pathologists. The areas covered by this volume are those which are commonly managed by the generalist. Professor Adams' account of how the skull and brain should be examined here will give confidence to many by defining a good technique and the careful description of various kinds of vascular injury lesions resulting from raised intracranial pressure will help to clarify repeated difficulty. More subtle forms of damage are also considered in detail. Professor Weller provides a detailed account of how the central nervous system may be examined in a way which permits all of us to prepare material which will allow adequate investigation of central nervous system disease and the proper examination of peripheral nerves. This chapter will become a "handbook" and will be of interest to those in training and established practitioners. Muscle biopsy is also dealt with; this is an area of investigative concern for many gener alists. The role of that singular neuropathological technique is very clearly emphasized.

Download or read book Brain Tumors written by Davide Schiffer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-09-27 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analogue to the first edition, the principal characteristic of this work is its casting of pathology as the common nosographic link in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of brain tumours. A result of the author's many years of experience in the study of brain tumours and their pathological and clinical characteristics, the book presents different aspects of neurooncology from the perspective of pathology and its biological and clinical correlates. This new, second and enlarged volume preserves all the qualities of the first edition while further amplifying clinical applications and updating biological and pathological problems. The references have been completely revised and new chapters have been added on topics such as neuroimaging, invasion and angiogenesis. Professor Schiffer is President of the Italian Association of Neurooncology and of the Italian Association of Neuropathology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do changes in the cerebrovascular system precede or follow clinical onset of Alzheimer's Disease? In this book a distinguished group of contributors addressES this question and explores the extent to which the pathological changes found in the brains of persons with Alzheimer's disease are related to cerebral blood flow, perfusion, and blood-brain barrier dysfunction. Other topics include the role of stroke, heart disease, diabetes, menopause, and blood pressure on the evolution of Alzheimer's disease; genetic factors affecting the cerebrovasculature; brain metabolic and chronic cerebral hypoperfusion; and the influence of the cerebromicrovasculature on neuronal function--all issues of critical importance in orienting research lines that may provide new answers to the Alzheimer puzzle.
