Description

The study of Quantitative EEGs and Neurofeedback offer a window into brain physiology and function via computer and statistical analyses, suggesting innovative approaches to the improvement of attention, anxiety, mood and behavior. Resources for understanding what QEEG and Neurofeedback is, how they are used, and to what disorders and patients they can be applied are scarce, and this volume serves as an ideal tool for clinical researchers and practicing clinicians, providing a broad overview of the most interesting topics relating to the techniques. The revised coverage of advancements, new applications (e.g. Aspberger's, music therapy, LORETA, etc.), and combinations of prior approaches make the second edition a necessary companion to the first. The top scholars in the field have been enlisted and contributions will offer both the breadth needed for an introductory scholar and the depth desired by a clinical professional.
Readership

Neuropsychologists, clinical psychology practitioners and researchers, advanced neuroscience students, neurologists and psychiatrists.

Migraine and Other Headaches

Migraine and Other Headaches





William B. Young, Stephen D. Silberstein, "Migraine and Other Headaches"
Publisher: Demos Medical Publishing | 2004-05-10 | ISBN 1932603034 | PDF | 193 pages | 1.7 MB


Migraine and Other Headaches is the essential guide for headache sufferers, providing the information needed to obtain effective medical care and long-term relief. Different types of headaches are thoroughly explained in easy to understand language, beginning with migraine, the most common severe headache, which occurs in approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population. The authors discuss the different types of migraine: migraine without aura (previously called common migraine), migraine with aura, and basilar migraine. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of early treatment, the importance of understanding the difference between a headache cause and a headache trigger, and how to avoid common triggers. Rebound headache, caused by the overuse of acute medication, is a topic of special significance and is discussed in detail.

Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and the Mind-Brain Relationship

Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and the Mind-Brain Relationship






Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and the Mind-Brain Relationship
Publisher: Academic Press | ISBN: 0123736676 | edition 2006 | PDF | 168 pages | 1,3 mb

This book is devoted to the surgical treatment of epilepsy and its consequences, and provides an extraordinary perspective on the fascinating question of the relationship between brain and mind. Contrary to the current emphasis on statistics and objectivity, this book is dedicated to understanding the whole person, the life and experiences of the individual. It reports on cutting-edge technical skills provided with a human touch. This book reflects the understanding that the temporolimbic seizure originates in tissue providing the substrate for the emotional life and memory. Finally, it emphasizes the value of clinical research here, conducted in the course of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of epilepsy in helping to elucidate the relationship between brain and mind.

The Human Frontal Lobes, Second Edition: Functions and Disorders

The Human Frontal Lobes, Second Edition: Functions and Disorders






Bruce L. Miller, Jeffrey L. Cummings "The Human Frontal Lobes, Second Edition: Functions and Disorders"
The Guilford Press | 2006-11-30 | ISBN: 1593853297 | 665 pages | PDF | 6,2 MB


Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this authoritative work synthesizes the rapidly growing knowledge base on the human frontal lobes and their central role in behavior, cognition, health, and disease. Leading contributors address neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, and normal neuropsychological functioning, and describe the nature and consequences of frontal lobe dysfunction in specific neurological and psychiatric conditions. Second edition features include a new section on structural and functional neuroimaging and substantially expanded coverage of frontotemporal dementia and related disorders. Other new topics include self-consciousness, competence, and personality; new testing approaches; bipolar disorder; and adult-onset genetic disorders of the frontal lobes. The book is illustrated with nearly 100 figures.

Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience, 2003

Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience, 2003






By Jeffrey L. Cummings, Michael S. Mega,
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Number Of Pages: 432
Publication Date: 2003-01-21
Sales Rank: 103298
ISBN / ASIN: 0195138589
EAN: 9780195138580
Binding: Hardcover
Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA
Studio: Oxford University Press, USA
Average Rating: 3.5
This is the long-awaited successor to Jeffrey Cummings' classic work, Clinical Neuropsychiatry, published in 1985. That book represented an integration of behavioral neurology and biological psychiatry into a single volume devoted to explicating brain-behavior relationships. It was clinically oriented and intended for practitioners caring for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders. The new title reflects the authors' effort to link the recent explosion of new information from neurochemistry, neuroanatomy, genetics, neuropharmacology, neuropathology, and neuroimaging to the clinical descriptions. Yet the clinical emphasis of its predecessor has been maintained. Each chapter has a consistent approach and the book as whole provides a practical, easy-to-use synthesis of clinical advice and basic science. The volume is enhanced by 4-color images throughout. It is intended for students, residents, fellows, and practitioners of neurology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience. It will also be of interest to individuals in neuroimaging.

Review:
Easy to read
Very interenting form to present Human behavior as a biological perspective. Easy to read this very scientific knowledge. Perhaps the only "but" is one chapter about "conciouness".

Review:
Excellent in places
I tend to read a lot of neuropsychiatry books for work and this is the latest from Jeff Cummings - an author who seems to do little wrong! The production value on this book is very high - quite a few color illustrations are used. The text is, in general, sensible and useful but there are some minor inaccuracies and some topics not covered. In places the depth is not really adequate and it may not offer quite the same coverage as competing volumes. Overall, excellent in places, but some omissions - therefore I would give it ok(3stars). I am sure the next edition, will offer more.
