Nanomedicine in Central Nervous System Injury and Repair (IRN), Volume 137, the latest release in the International Review of Neurobiology series presents comprehensive chapters that cover a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, how Diabetes exacerbates methamphetamine induced blood-brain barrier breakdown, edema formation, oxidative stress and myelin damage, and how Focal blast brain injury induces rapid edema formation, blood-brain barrier breakdown and intensive cellular damage. In addition, the Neuroprotective effects of a multimodal drug cerebrolysin are explored, as is how Nanowired cerebrolysin potentiates neuroprotective effects of histamine H3 receptor inverse agonist and antagonist with partial H4 agonist in Alzheimer's Disease. This series reviews current knowledge and understanding on how to repair the damaged spinal cord and brain with nanomedicine, detailing new therapeutic advances and providing a starting point for researchers and practitioners entering the field.
Autonomic dysfunction is one of the most prevalent non-motor symptoms that occurs in Parkinson's disease. Autonomic Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease provides up to date information on this important topic, which affects quality of life of these patients. This include a large number of domains: orthostatic hypotension, excessive sweating, dry eyes, constipation, weight loss, increased sensitivity to heat and cold, sexual dysfunction.
Published since 1959, International Review of Neurobiology is a
well-known series appealing to neuroscientists, clinicians,
psychologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists. Led by an
internationally renowned editorial board, this important serial
publishes both eclectic volumes made up of timely reviews and
thematic volumes that focus on recent progress in a specific area
of neurobiology research.
International Review of Neurobiology, Volume 46 presents in-depth
reviews on such ground-breaking topics as assembly and
intracellular trafficking of GABA A receptors, D-1 dopamine
receptors, and Alzheimer's disease. This series offers the most
comprehensive and up-to-date information available and is a must
for anyone in the field.
When we walk, drive a car, or fly an airplane, visual motion is
used to control and guide our movement. Optic flow describes the
characteristic pattern of visual motion that arises in these
situations. This book is the first to take an in-depth look at the
neuronal processing strategies that underlie the brain's ability to
analyze and use optic flow for the control of self-motion. It does
so in a variety of species which use optic flow in different
behavioral contexts. The spectrum ranges from flying insects to
birds, higher mammals and man. The contributions cover
physiological and behavioral studies as well as computational
models. Neuronal Processing of Optic Flow provides an authoritative
and comprehensive overview of the current state of research on this
topic written by a group of authors who have made essential
contributions to shaping this field of research over the last ten
years.
Neuroscience Perspectives provides multidisciplinary reviews of
topics in one of the most diverse and rapidly advancing fields in
the life sciences.
Neuroscience Perspectives provides multidisciplinary reviews of topics in one of the most diverse and rapidly advancing fields in the life sciences. Whether you are a new recruit to neuroscience, or an established expert, look to this series for 'one-stop' sources of the historical, physiological, pharmacological, biochemical, molecular biological and therapeutic aspects of chosen research areas. The sigma receptor was originally thought to be a subset of the opioid receptor family, and it is less than 10 years since it was recognized that this receptor represents unique binding sites in mammalian brain and peripheral organs, distinct from any other known neurotransmitter receptor. Since the sigma receptors exhibit high affinity for members of diverse classes of psychotropic drugs, and have been postulated to be involved in various central nervous disorders, neuroscientists have demonstrated a great deal of interest in the elucidation of these receptor sites and their biological relevance. Relatively little is known about the precise role of sigma receptors in normal brain function and in CNS disorders, despite an overwhelming research effort. This research has resulted in many controversies, some of which have been reconciled while others have not. This volume aims to update the reader on the current situation, and deals with the potential functional significance of these receptors in the brain and peripheral organs and, where appropriate, makes reference to the clinical potential of these sites.

research
The book presents a basis for the interaction of the brain and nervous system with painting, music and literature, and a discussion of art from multiple facets such as anatomy, migraine, illusion and evolutionary biology. The book explores several aspects of the neurobiology of painting, including evolutionary neurobiology, sensation vs. perception, the visual brain and how the mind works, and also explores the affects of brain disorders and trauma on artist, with a concluding chapter on Frida Kahlo and the spinal cord injury that influenced her painting.
Glutamate and GABA are the main information carrying neurotransmitters in the brain. Their action is modulated by a further series of small molecules called neuromodulators. The major neuromodulators in the brain are acetylcholine (both muscarinic and nicotinic), dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine and serotonin. These have an enormous range of functions in a wide variety of brain mechanisms. This book attempts to give a general overview of this field with a section devoted to each of these. Each section starts with anatomy, both structural and functional. The various types of receptors for these agents are described and then the effects of stimulating these receptors. These receptors trigger a variety of electrical reactions that generally involve potassium, sodium or calcium channels. Also reviewed are other receptors that trigger a wide variety of post-synaptic signaling cascades that influence a large number of neuronal functions including receptor sensitivity, synaptic plasticity and gene manipulation. Finally the relevance of these systems to disease states is detailed. There are many reviews of individual neuromodulators but this is the only book where one author attempts to cover the whole field.
