In the 1960s and 1970s doctors were increasingly trained to apply science to the eradication of disease, the accent being on the treatment of disease rather than the true welfare of the patient.
This book includes questions of the etiology and morphogenesis of cerebral aneurysms, pathophysiological and pathomorphological aspects of subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral vasospasm, the relationship between constitution and developmental risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage, hemostasiological disorders in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid and intracranial hemorrhage, peculiarities of diagnosis and methods of conservative and neurosurgical treatment in different types of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage - adults, pregnant women and children.
Scientists, educationalists and policymakers are increasingly recognizing the relevance of neuroscience to education and its potential impact on pedagogy.
This exciting new book explores the dark side of the molecular protein assembly bringing an updated view of how failures in the homeostatic mechanisms that efficiently regulate protein folding leads to the accumulation of structurally abnormal pathogenic assemblies, encompassing an emerging group of diseases collectively known as 'Protein Folding Disorders.
The UCLA Forum in Medical Sciences Number 4: Brain Function Volume III presents the proceedings of the Third Conference on Brain Function, held in November 1963, which focused on speech, language, and communication.
En la clínica actual nos encontramos con niños cada vez más pequeños con manifestaciones de sufrimiento psíquico cada vez más intensos, traídos a la consulta por adultos cada vez más exigidos, cada vez más infelices.
Lo originario del lazo social ocurre en la infancia; lo común existe solo si se puede ceder lo propio en función de los otros, como condición de la experiencia infantil.
El libro espera aportar conocimiento en torno al funcionamiento del autismo en general y bajo una situación extrema de variación del encuadre terapéutico, en particular.
This conference brought together scientists from diverse disciplines such as biomedical and electrical engineering, mathematics, physics, neurology, neuroscience, psychophysiology and psychology to discuss the application of nonlinear dynamics in the study of brain function.
This volume contains papers, contributed by scientists from a wide variety of disciplines, on the application of nonlinear dynamics (chaos theory) in the study of brain function.
This proceedings volume contains papers presented during the meeting on Diversity in Auditory Mechanics by leading neurobiologists, biophysicists and mathematicians interested in auditory periphery.
Leon Cooper's somewhat peripatetic career has resulted in work in quantum field theory, superconductivity, the quantum theory of measurement as well as the mechanisms that underly learning and memory.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating pathology of the central nervous system (CNS) of unknown etiology which represents the most common neurodegenerative disorder.
With rapid advances in medical technology and progress in medicine during the last 27 years, severe disability or sustained neck-shoulder-arm pain secondary to cervical spondylosis can be detected much earlier.
The phenomenon of consciousness has long been one of the great mysteries of life, perhaps because it is inexplicable in terms of the deterministic theories of classical science.
For a few decades, the puzzle of consciousness, which for centuries was analysed by philosophers, has been finding a wide interest in the scientific field, where previously it was not entitled to be a member.
This volume looks at the associative mechanisms of the brain, particularly of the cortico-limbic and diencephalic systems, and also at the macromolecular effects on them, by integrating the contributions of various disciplines converging on one subject and from different points of view.
The multi-authored book intends to describe the neuropathological appearances associated with epilepsy in childhood and in adults and is based on personal experience of authors working at institutions in the UK and USA who have a strong commitment with epilepsy.
This monograph is a structured review of models of oculomotor control systems that is geared toward biomedical engineers, vision scientists, and optometry students.
Numerous studies have established a clear connection between neuronal oxidative stress and several neurodegenerative diseases, with consequential damages to lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, etc.
In Theory of Cortical Plasticity, Nobel Laureate Leon Cooper and his collaborators present a systematic development of the Bienenstock, Cooper and Munro (BCM) theory of synaptic plasticity, and discuss experiments that test both its assumptions and consequences.
This important book presents review articles on the cell biology of photoreceptor and RPE cells, as well as the relationship between this cell biology and inherited photoreceptor degeneration.
The workshop brought together experts in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, physiology, engineering, physics, mathematics, audiology and medicine to present current work and to review the critical issues of inner ear function.
This volume provides students with the necessary tools to better understand the fields of neurobiological modeling, cluster analysis of proteins and genes.
Metallothioneins (MTs) represent a large family of proteins characterized by high heavy metal content (mainly CuII and ZnII) and by an unusual cysteine abundance.
