Researchers seeking problems that offer more hope of success often avoid subjects that seem to be difficult to approach experimentally, or subjects for which experimental results are difficult to interpret.
This book is the story of the marriage of a new techl}ology, computers, with an old problem, the study of neuroanatomical structures using the light microscope.
In the search for an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease, APP is a unique model protein that illustrates the wide array of basic and sophisticated characterization techniques available.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), directly related to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, presents a crisis in contact sports, the military, and public health.
Lifelong prosopagnosia has emerged as a key testing ground for theories of visual system organization, as well as the development and the emergence of neural specificity in the human brain.
This book is an analysis and discussion of the soul as a psychophysical process and its role in mental representation, meaning, understanding and agency.
This volume focuses on the optogenetics workflow, and covers topics on viral vectors, targeting strategies, choice on opsins, animal models and readouts, and applications in systems neuroscience.
Die ersten drei Kapitel – Neuropsychiatrische Notfalltherapie, Antiepileptika und Psychostimulanzien – wurden vollständig aktualisiert und ergänzt um den Einbezug der intensivmedizinischen Versorgung von Psychopharmaka-Intoxikationen.
There can be little doubt that, to use the parlance of the advertising world, the elasmobranch fishes have a "e;high profile image"e; in today's world.
The intention of this book was to have investigators describe an expert opinion on their field of research and cutting-edge work in their laboratory on the neurobiology and treatment of eating disorders.
I would like first to thank Charles Woody and his organizing committee for arranging the symposium on the "e;Cellular Mechanisms of Conditioning and Behavioral Plasticity,"e; which was also a satellite meeting of the International Union of Physiological Sciences 30th International Congress.
This detailed volume explores techniques for the study of neurogenic niches and neural lineage progression, specifically addressing major methodological challenges in studying neural stem cells (NSCs) and related cell populations, such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and neurons.
In 1968 at the University of Illinois, David Cohen made scientific history when he measured a neuronal oscillation known as the alpha rhythm from the brains of four human volunteers.
Functional imaging has the capability to reveal changes in the pathophysiology of tissues and organ systems, mapping the progression and severity of disease, uptake of drugs, and the recovery of tissues following trauma, disease episodes or surgery.
Understanding temporal integration by the brain is expected to be among the premier topics to unite systems, cellular, computational, and cognitive neuroscience over the next decade.
This book-Mind, Body, and Digital Brains-focuses on both theoretical and empirical issues and joins contributions from different disciplines, concepts, and sensibilities, bringing together scholars from fields that at first glance may appear different-Neuroscience and Cognitive Neuroscience; Robotics, Computer Science, Deep Learning, and Information Processing Systems; Education, Philosophy, Law, and Psychology.
Methods in Psychobiology, Volume 2, Specialized Laboratory Techniques in Neuropsychology and Neurobiology is intended for the beginning "e;"e;student"e;"e; in physiological, neuro-, bio-psychology, or whatever label one wishes to attach to the exciting interdisciplinary field which weds the brain and behavior.
More than 100 years ago, Dr Casimir Funk suggested the existence of a family of organic substances that are essential for life and thus introduced the concept of "e;vital amines"e; as essential nutrients with a specific action, requiring only minute amount with the power to cure a specific disease.
