This is an excellent introduction for graduate students and nonspecialists to the field of mathematical and computational neurosciences. The book approaches the subject via pulsed-coupled neural networks, which have at their core the lighthouse and integrate-and-fire models. These allow for highly flexible modeling of realistic synaptic activity, synchronization and spatio-temporal pattern formation. The more advanced pulse-averaged equations are discussed.

Offering a comprehensive review of the neuropathology of SARS-CoV-2, Neurological Care and the COVID-19 Pandemic provides up-to-date coverage of the wide array of the pathogen's neurological symptoms and complications. Drs. Ahmad Riad Ramadan and Gamaledin Osman discuss the neuropathology of SARS-CoV-2, its neurological manifestations, and the impact the pandemic has had on the care of patients with pre-existing neurological conditions. The authors also offer an overview of emerging treatments a...

Reports on research into how the nervous system controls muscles and movement from crustaceans to humans. Covers the broad areas of afferent mechanisms, proprioception, reflexes, locomotion, development, cerebellar mechanism, and comparative studies; and discusses such details as the quantitative as

Huntington's Disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder which results in severe nerve-cell damage. Advances in genetic counseling have increased the amount of information available to those potentially at risk. In this volume, the authors discuss the clinical genetic counseling aspects of Huntington's disease (Quarrell), the clinical presentation of Huntington's Disease (Hughes), and the basic biology underlying the pathogenesis of the disease (Rosser).

Written expressly for non-neuropsychologists, this book offers a concise, friendly introduction to the developing brain and its functions. Stephen R. Hooper renders complex concepts accessible as he describes the structure of the brain and the workings of the nervous system. The book explains how findings from neuropsychological assessments can help educators and clinicians to better understand and remediate children's difficulties. A range of neurodevelopmental and medical conditions that affec...

Fur eine Erholung aus dem Wachkoma kann die rehabilitative Pflege als impulsgebend eingeschatzt werden. Was sind Momente einer solchen Pflege? Wann lasst sich Pflege als rehabilitativ im Sinne der Starkung der (Wieder-)Aneignungsfahigkeiten von Erwachsenen im Wachkoma bezeichnen? Unter Einbezug internationaler Studien wird sich diesen Fragen durch entsprechende Forschungsmethoden angenahert. Aus der Sicht erfahrener Pflegender lasst sich das Verhalten von Erwachsenen im Wachkoma stets in einen s...

This second of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. A handy paperback edition focuses on an early part of the first trimester of human brain development. Serial sections from specimens between 6.3 mm and 10.5 mm are illustrated and annotated in detail, together with 3D reconstructions. An introduction summarizes these earliest stages of human CNS development. The accompanying Glossary gives definitions for all the terms used in this...

"Chinese sage Lao Tzu said every journey begins 'with a single step.' Recovery begins in the same way.
