In recent years, the boundaries of the neurological fields have blurred, and students and scientists in all subdivisions of neuroscience now must be familiar not only with the terminology of their own specialty but also with that of the related disciplines. In response to these developments, the author has written this revised and expanded edition of her Desk Reference for Neuroanatomy (Springer-Verlag 1977), entitled Desk Reference for Neuroscience, Second Edition. The dictionary has been amplified to include terms from neurophysiology, neuropathology, and neuropharmacology, in addition to neuroanatomy. Illustrations have been added and the references and bibliographythoroughly updated. Students and scientists will find the second edition of the Desk Reference for Neuroscience an accessible and practical guide to essential terms and definitions in all branches of the neurosciences.
Brief definitions of over 2000 words, intended to provide quick access to information on parts of the nervous system. Frequently encountered terms from neuropathology, neurophysiology, and clinical neurology included along with those of neuroanatomy. Also contains eponyms, acronyms, and biographical entries. Entry gives term or phrase, word root, definition, and occasional synonyms. 11 references.
This books’ coverage ranges from incidence, diagnosis, investigation, drug treatments, non-motor features of Parkinson’s Disease, assessment scales and surgical intervention, to the role of nurses, physio– and occupational therapists, speech/language pathologists, dieticians, and to the use of complementary medicine.
Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience: A Beginner's Guide, Second Edition, is a comprehensive, yet accessible, beginner’s guide on cognitive neuroscience. This text takes a distinctive, commonsense approach to help newcomers easily learn the basics of how the brain functions when we learn, act, feel, speak and socialize. This updated edition includes contents and features that are both academically rigorous and engaging, including a step-by-step introduction to the visible brain, colorful brain illustrations, and new chapters on emerging topics in cognition research, including emotion, sleep and disorders of consciousness, and discussions of novel findings that highlight cognitive neuroscience’s practical applications. Written by two leading experts in the field and thoroughly updated, this book remains an indispensable introduction to the study of cognition. Winner of a 2019 Textbook Excellence Award (College) (Texty) from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association Presents an easy-to-read introduction to mind-brain science based on a simple functional diagram linked to specific brain functions Provides new, up-to-date, colorful brain images directly from research labs Contains "In the News" boxes that describe the newest research and augment foundational content Includes both a student and instructor website with basic terms and definitions, chapter guides, study questions, drawing exercises, downloadable lecture slides, test bank, flashcards, sample syllabi and links to multimedia resources

of this bestselling textbook provides a comprehensive and student-friendly guide to cognitive neuroscience. Jamie Ward provides an easy-to-follow introduction to neural structure and function, as well as all the key methods and procedures of cognitive neuroscience, with a view to helping students understand how they can be used to shed light on the neural basis of cognition. The book presents a comprehensive overview of the latest theories and findings in all the key topics in cognitive neuroscience, including vision, hearing, attention, memory, speech and language, numeracy, executive function, social and emotional behavior and developmental neuroscience. Throughout, case studies, newspaper reports, everyday examples and studentfriendly pedagogy are used to help students understand the more challenging ideas that underpin the subject. New to this edition: Increased focus on the impact of genetics on cognition New coverage of the cutting-edge field of connectomics Coverage of the latest research tools including tES and fNIRS and new methodologies such as multi-voxel pattern analysis in fMRI research Additional content is also included on network versus modular approaches, brain mechanisms of hand-eye coordination, neurobiological models of speech perception and production and recent models of anterior cingulate function. Written in an engaging style by a leading researcher in the field and presented in full color including numerous illustrative materials, this book will be invaluable as a core text for undergraduate modules in cognitive neuroscience. It can also be used as a key text on courses in cognition, cognitive neuropsychology, biopsychology or brain and behavior. Those embarking on research will find it an invaluable starting point and reference. This textbook is supported by an extensive companion website for students and instructors, including lectures by leading researchers, links to key studies and interviews, interactive multiple-choice questions and flashcards of key terms.
This handbook discusses the medications used in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases from the perspective of practicing clinicians. There is a considerable overlap between these two specialties with both sides using drugs of the other specialty. The book provides a quick reference guide to help clinicians select appropriate drugs, dosages, and understand the adverse effects and clinically significant drug interactions in neuropsychopharmacology. It consists of 12 chapters with illustrations, tables, and flow charts as well as case examples relevant to the needs of clinicians. Clinical Neuropsychopharmacology is a handy guide to prescribing with greater confidence.
