An analysis of the frontiers of neuroscience, covering topics such as mind reading, designer minds, brain imaging techniques (fMRI, MEG), chemical control, tweaking genes, and the philosophical and ethical problems inherent in modern neurotechnology.
A foundational textbook exploring the biological mechanisms underlying behavior, covering topics in neuroscience, physiological psychology, and behavioral biology.
This book details breakthroughs in neuroscience concerning the relationship between the brain and pain. It covers the basic pain pathway, molecular mechanisms determining pain intensity and duration, the anatomy of the nervous system, perception and attribution of pain, adaptation, and signals for persistent chronic pain.
A multi-volume comprehensive encyclopedia covering fields such as cognitive neuroscience, brain study methods, behavioral genetics, molecular neurobiology, psychopharmacology, neuroendocrinology, and addiction.
An introduction to the field of behavioral neuroscience, exploring the neural foundations of behavior, covering topics such as communication within the nervous system, motivation, emotion, sensory perception (hearing, vision), movement, learning, memory, intelligence, and psychological disorders.
This seminal reference provides comprehensive coverage of the latest theory, research, and practical insights into sport neuroscience and psychophysiology. It emphasizes ecological approaches and details how core principles of neuroscience, social neuroscience, psychophysiology, and biofeedback can optimize athlete training, performance, rehabilitation, and recovery. The book utilizes advanced technology like neuroimaging and EEG to map electrophysiological responses during sport activity and is a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers, students, coaches, and athletes.
Detailed analysis of chemical synaptic function, covering the role of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in neurotransmitter release (quantal hypothesis, EPP/mEPP), and the mechanisms underlying excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP), inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSP), and their respective reversal potentials.
This book applies the principles of neuroscience, brain chemistry, and psychology to the field of business leadership. It provides practical insights into decision-making, emotional intelligence, goal setting, motivation, and sustainable behavioral change for improved organizational effectiveness.
An accessible and introductory guide covering the fundamental principles and concepts of neuroscience, designed for students and lay readers seeking an easy-to-understand overview of the nervous system.
A concise, illustrated summary covering the core principles of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and clinical neurology. Designed for medical students and residents needing quick revision and foundational understanding of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
A comprehensive textbook focusing on basic and clinical principles of neuroscience, neuroanatomy, and neurobiology for medical students and professionals.
This is the first comprehensive and up-to-date treatment on the cognitive neuroscience of memory, detailing cognitive neuroscience techniques and human brain mechanisms underlying long-term memory success and failure, working memory, implicit memory, and memory and disease. It highlights both spatial and temporal aspects of the functioning human brain during memory.
A comprehensive guide detailing the physical principles, engineering, and clinical applications of instruments used in examining the eye and assessing visual function, including refractors, microscopes, and advanced imaging systems.
A concise guide defining pneumothorax as a collapsed lung and explaining the mechanisms involving pleural pressure dynamics. It covers causes such as trauma and spontaneous events, and details the major types, including simple, tension, spontaneous, and traumatic pneumothorax, noting specific clinical features and risks associated with each condition.
A collection of research articles covering the latest diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic advances in non-melanoma skin cancer, including studies on molecular biomarkers, signaling pathways in basal cell carcinoma, and diagnostic techniques like cytology and reflectance confocal microscopy.
Analysis of the evidence supporting lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategies, including the use of lower tidal volumes, to prevent ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in patients with and without ARDS. The content reviews historical practices, animal models, and key clinical trials (e.g., ARDS Network) linking MV practices to patient outcomes and multiple organ dysfunction.
An introductory guide covering the fundamentals of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), including probe orientation, image settings (gain and depth), and essential scanning techniques like sliding, fanning, and rotating the probe for complete structural evaluation.
