Principles and Practice of Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision, second edition (Mit Press) (2006) by John R. Heckenlively PDF

Description

The long-awaited second edition of an authoritative reference on electrophysiologic vision testing, including detailed information on techniques and problems, basic physiology and anatomy, theoretical concepts, and clinical findings; with extensive new material.This authoritative text is the only comprehensive reference available on electrophysiologic vision testing, offering both practical information on techniques and problems as well as basic physiology and anatomy, theoretical concepts, and clinical correlations. The second edition, of the widely used text, offers extensive new material and updated information: 65 of the 84 chapters are completely new, with the changes reflecting recent advances in the field. The book will continue to be an essential resource for practitioners and scholars from a range of disciplines within vision science.The contributions not only cover new information—important material that is likely to become more important in the next decade—but also offer a long-range perspective on the field and its remarkable development in the last century. After discussing the history and background of clinical electrophysiology, the book introduces the anatomy of the retina and principles of cell biology in the visual pathways at the molecular, physiological, and biochemical levels. It relates these new findings to the techniques and interpretations of clinical tests, including the electro-oculogram (EOG), electroretinogram (ERG), and visual evoked potentials (VEP), which are discussed in detail, as are equipment, data acquisition and analysis, principles and protocols for clinical testing, diseases and dysfunction, and animal testing. Notable additions for this edition include chapters on the origin of electroretinogram waveforms, multifocal techniques, testing in standard laboratory animals, recent advances in analysis of abnormalities in disease, and the applications of these techniques to the study of genetic abnormalities.

Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I work for an electrophysiology company and when I first started to learn about what it all meant, this was the book I was directed to. It did not disappoint, whether you are a complete novice or an experienced user looking to supplement your current knowledge. This book is far and away the best guide I have ever read that takes a detailed look at every single step and process that goes into electrophysiology of vision. Very well organized and written with an unbelievable amount of diagrams/imagery to aid in the learning process. I have read this book at least twice and will probably read it again in the future.

⭐Libro en buen estado

⭐I need it for my work, it was a very good price!
