This monograph offers a cross-system exchange and cross-modality
investigation into brain-heart interplay. Brain-Heart Interplay
(BHI) is a highly interdisciplinary scientific topic, which spreads
from the physiology of the Central/Autonomous Nervous Systems,
especially Central Autonomic Network, to advanced signal processing
and modeling for its activity quantification. Motivated by clinical
evidence and supported by recent findings in neurophysiology, this
monograph first explores the definition of basic Brain-Heart
Interplay quantifiers, and then moves onto advanced methods for the
assessment of health and disease states. Non-invasive use of brain
monitoring techniques, including electroencephalogram and function
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, will be described together with
heartbeat dynamics monitoring through pulseoximeter and ECG
signals. The audience of this book comprises especially of
biomedical engineers and medical doctors with expertise in
statistics and/or signal processing. Researchers in the fields of
cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, and neuroscience in general may
be interested as well.
In this book, experts in the field provide comprehensive
descriptions of the neuroanatomy of the hypothalamic neuroendocrine
systems. The book begins with an extensive discussion on the
structural components of the neuroendocrine systems. The reader
will be introduced to the anatomy and biology of the hypothalamus
and the pituitary. The human hypothalamus is presented in
particular detail using state-of-the-art imaging techniques. In the
next section, the neuroanatomy of traditional
hypothalamo-hypophyseal systems is highlighted, with chapters
describing magnocellular neuroendocrine cells and discussing the
respective types of hypothalamic neurons that regulate various
pituitary hormones. Following this detailed structural and
anatomical description of the neuroendocrine system, the book's
final section focuses on the hypothalamic control of neuroendocrine
functions. This includes the control of circadian rhythm,
metabolism and appetite via specific peptidergic circuits. This
book provides essential information on the neuroanatomy and control
of neuroendocrine systems, addresses cutting-edge research
questions posed by recent advances in the development of potent
neuroanatomical tools, and highlights the latest technologies used
in neuroendocrinology research, making it a valuable reference
guide for students, trainees and established researchers alike.
This is the twelfth volume in the International Neuroendocrine
Federation (INF) Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology series, which
aims to illustrate the highest standards and to encourage the use
of the latest technologies in basic and clinical research and hopes
to provide inspiration for further exploration into the exciting
field of neuroendocrinology.

This book offers readers fresh insights on applying Extended
Reality to Digital Anatomy, a novel emerging discipline. Indeed,
the way professors teach anatomy in classrooms is changing rapidly
as novel technology-based approaches become ever more accessible.
Recent studies show that Virtual (VR), Augmented (AR), and
Mixed-Reality (MR) can improve both retention and learning
outcomes. Readers will find relevant tutorials about
three-dimensional reconstruction techniques to perform virtual
dissections. Several chapters serve as practical manuals for
students and trainers in anatomy to refresh or develop their
Digital Anatomy skills. We developed this book as a support tool
for collaborative efforts around Digital Anatomy, especially in
distance learning, international and interdisciplinary contexts. We
aim to leverage source material in this book to support new Digital
Anatomy courses and syllabi in interdepartmental, interdisciplinary
collaborations. Digital Anatomy - Applications of Virtual, Mixed
and Augmented Reality provides a valuable tool to foster
cross-disciplinary dialogues between anatomists, surgeons,
radiologists, clinicians, computer scientists, course designers,
and industry practitioners. It is the result of a multidisciplinary
exercise and will undoubtedly catalyze new specialties and
collaborative Master and Doctoral level courses world-wide. In this
perspective, the UNESCO Chair in digital anatomy was created at the
Paris Descartes University in 2015 (www.anatomieunesco.org). It
aims to federate the education of anatomy around university
partners from all over the world, wishing to use these new 3D
modeling techniques of the human body.

Anatomy of Movement presents a dynamic, integrated approach to the
study of the physical structures of the musculoskeletal system and
their functional relationship to the movements of the human body.
In clear and concise text illustrated with more than a thousand
graphic drawings, the author guides the reader on a lively tour of
the muscles, bones, ligaments and joints of the arms, legs and
trunk. The focus throughout the book is on anatomy not for its own
sake, but in its functional relationship to the actual movements of
the body in dance, exercise, and other physical disciplines. In
this newly-revised edition, a majority of the thousand-plus
illustrations are new or have been modified by the author from the
original edition. The text has also been updated, and the
sequencing of the presentation of the musculoskeletal anatomy has
been revised in part.
