As an extension of artificial intelligence research, artificial neural networks (ANN) aim to simulate intelligent behavior by mimicking the way that biological neural networks function.
As autism is associated with many rare diseases, this extensive bench book examines how no one single model can be used; multiple organism models are needed, each one corresponding to one of the diseases or to one aspect of a disease.
This detailed volume reflects the considerable new developments that have taken place in the area of applied neurogenomics, particularly with the rapid progress in next generation sequencing.
As fMRI technology has provided invaluable insights into the mechanisms through which the human brain works in healthy individuals and in patients with different neurological and psychiatric conditions, the study of brain function and even the monitoring of the effects of treatment have become more effective and efficient.
This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with new information on the latest developments in the field, and the most up-to-date representative methodological information on molecular neuroanatomical and functional techniques that are currently used to study neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels in the brain.
Our understanding of addiction and how it is treated has advanced remarkably over the past decades, and much of the progress is related directly to animal research.
This detailed volume assembles comprehensive protocols to assist with the study of structural, molecular, cell biological, and in vivo facets of GPCRs, and to enable the development of experimental tools for screening novel GPCR drugs.
It goes without saying that the principles and techniques of molecular biology are having and will continue to have a major impact on investigations into nervous system structure and func tion.
The observation that neuropeptide Y (NPY) is the most abundant peptide present in the mammalian nervous system and the finding that it elicits the most powerful orexigenic signal have led to active investigations of the properties of the NPY family of hormones, including peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP).
Since the conception of this acclaimed series of volumes examining neural tissue culture, the expansion of neuroscience has continued to produce vital discoveries that utilize tissue culture methodologies.
Nervous system development evolves from the well-orchestrated processes of neural induction, cell proliferation, differentiation, cell migration, survival, and synapse formation.
The cerebral cytoskeleton, considered to be the working horse in brain tissues, becomes particularly important when degenerative diseases of the nervous system are considered.
Gaining an understanding of the mechanisms by which cells process and respond to extracellular cues has become a major goal in many areas of bi- ogy and has attracted the attentions of almost every traditional discipline within the biological sciences.
Despite the success of earlier Neuromethads volumes, I was initially reluctant to edit a further volume because my own - search is concerned with nonneural tissues.
This monograph, now in its 2nd edition with 31 new chapters and significant updates, is the first book of its kind written specifically for graduate students and clinicians.
Neurotransmitter Methods is intended as a bench-side companion for researchers who seek to identify, locaHze, or measure neurotransmitters and/or to identify sites of neurotransmitter action.
This volume contains a comprehensive compilation of chromogenic and fluorescent RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) technology in many of its various shades, forms, and applications.
Game-Based Learning in Education and Health, Volume 276 in the Progress in Brain Research series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on topics such as Math computerized games in the classroom: a Number Line Training in Primary School Children, Digital games for learning basic arithmetic at home, Game-Based Assessment of Cognitive Function among Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, Different aspects of fraction understanding are associated selectively with performance on a fraction learning game, and more.
