As a truly translational area of biomedical investigation, epilepsy
research spans an extraordinary breadth of subjects and involves
virtually every tool that modern neuroscience has at its disposal.
The Encyclopedia of Basic Epilepsy Research provides an up to date,
comprehensive reference for all epilepsy researchers. With an
expert list of authors, the encyclopedia covers the full spectrum
of research activities from genes and molecules to animal models
and human patients. The encyclopedia's electronic format also
provides unparalleled access to frequent updates and additions,
while the limited edition print version provides another option for
owning this content. The Encyclopedia of Basic Epilepsy Research is
an essential resource for researchers of all levels and clinicians
who study epilepsy.
Advances in epilepsy research are occurring at a rapid rate, resulting in a bewildering wealth of data. The implications of this knowledge for future research and clinical practice can be confusing. This volume concentrates on the concepts and models of epilepsy which have been developed as a result of this research. Written by prominent researchers in the field, this book presents a number of major concepts and hypotheses through which epilepsy research has been advanced. Chapters focus on the pathways and mechanisms through which seizure activity is initiated and spread, in both normal and abnormal brain tissues, and discuss the special properties of epileptogenesis in the immature brain. In a field in which rapid advances lead to constant update of empirical data, this book takes a conceptual approach to the subject and provides a solid framework within which to understand the emerging issues. It will be relevant to basic neuroscientists, neurologists and neurosurgeons.
What does it take to be a scientist? Equally important, what does
it take to be happy as a scientist? Drawing on thirty years of
experience, Philip Schwartzkroin offers the budding scientist an
invaluable glimpse into the day-to-day life of the researcher,
filling a huge hole in the education of most would-be
scientists--whether undergraduates or high school seniors.
