The study of the brain continues to expand at a rapid pace
providing fascinating insights into the basic mechanisms underlying
nervous system illnesses. New tools, ranging from genome sequencing
to non-invasive imaging, and research fueled by public and private
investment in biomedical research has been transformative in our
understanding of nervous system diseases and has led to an
explosion of published primary research articles. Diseases of the
Nervous System, Second Edition, summarizes the current state of
basic and clinical knowledge for the most common neurological and
neuropsychiatric conditions. In a systematic progression, each
chapter covers either a single disease or a group of related
disorders ranging from static insults to primary and secondary
progressive neurodegenerative diseases, neurodevelopmental
illnesses, illnesses resulting from nervous system infection and
neuropsychiatric conditions. Chapters follow a common format and
are stand-alone units, each covering disease history, clinical
presentation, disease mechanisms and treatment protocols. Dr.
Sontheimer also includes two chapters which discuss common concepts
shared among the disorders and how new findings are being
translated from the bench to the bedside. In a final chapter, he
explains the most commonly used neuroscience jargon. The chapters
address controversial issues in current day neuroscience research
including translational research, drug discovery, ethical issues,
and the promises of personalized medicine. This new edition
features new chapters on Pain and Addiction to highlight the
growing opioid crisis and the ethical issue of prescriptions drug
abuse. This book provides an introduction for course adoption and
an introductory tutorial for students, scholars, researchers and
medical professionals interested in learning the state of the art
concerning our understanding and treatment of diseases of the
nervous system. Each chapter includes suggested further readings
and/or journal club recommendations.
