This book, the second of three volumes, concentrates on peripheral
nervous system disorders. Examining the effects of neurotoxicants
on nerve, muscle and the neuromuscular junction, it builds on the
scientific principles outlined in volume 1 by looking at the
application of the methods discussed, particularly in terms of the
evaluation and diagnosis of individual patients and the related
process of establishing causation. Neurobehavorial Toxicology,
Volume 2 will be of interest to practicing neurologists and
neuropsychologists, as well as to occupational medicine physicians
and medical toxicologists.
This book, the first of three volumes, provides a thorough
background to the emerging field of neurobehavioral toxicology by
looking at current clinical approaches and tests, as well as
assessing current clinical research. The analysis of the impact of
toxins on the human nervous system is particularly pertinent given
the ongoing expansion of pharmaceuticals, industrial hazards,
biological warfare and global pollution. A comprehensive
introduction to neurobehavioral toxicology, this work will be of
interest to practicing neurologists and neuropsychologists, as well
as to occupational medicine physicians and medical toxicologists.

This is the final volume in a three-volume work that has addressed
the scientific methodologies relevant to clinical neurobehavioral
toxicology. Volume I focused on basic concepts and methodologies in
Neurobehavioral Toxicology, with Volume II focusing on the
peripheral nervous system. Volume III attends to what is known
about industrial and environmental chemicals, medicines, and
substances of abuse and how these agents affect the central nervous
system. All substances have the capacity to be toxic, depending on
factors that include the physical properties of the chemical or
compound, organism related variables, or interaction between the
two. These substances on the other hand and as a result of these
same factors might be used therapeutically or even recreationally.
The difference between medicine, recreational drug, or poison
depends often on a careful balance between adverse and intended
effects. How to determine that a specified substance has caused
harm is emphasized in the present volume by way of case examples
and discussion. Illnesses and behavioral variations that compete
with toxicant-induced explanations for findings in a given case, as
well as the various controversies that can arise around issues of
diagnosis and causal determination, are treated comprehensively in
this volume.

A social dilemma is a game which at first glance has only
inefficient solutions. If efficient solutions are to be achieved,
some kind of cooperation among the players is required. This book
asks two basic questions, closely intertwined with each other: 1.
How is cooperation possible among rational players in such a social
dilemma? Which changes in the social context of a social dilemma
situation are necessary in order for players to rationally choose
the cooperative option? 2. How do real players actually behave in
social dilemma situations? Do they behave "rationally" at all? Or,
conversely, what kind of reasoning, attitudes, emotions, etc. shape
the behavior of real players in social dilemmas? What kind of
interventions, what kind of internal mechanisms within a real group
may change players' willingness to cooperate? These two general
questions mark the broad spectrum of the problem which has been,
over the last three decades, investigated in various disciplines,
and which has brought many new ideas and new observations into the
study of the old question of social order in a world of born
egoists. Accordingly, this volume contains contributions by
biologists, sociologists, political scientists, economists,
mathematicians, psychologists, and philosophers.
This paper represents the collaborative work of a game theorist and
a policy analyst in an attempt to examine severa! questions that go
to the hearl of the way individuala achieve social order. The
capacity of any individual to undertake long-term, productive
activities that affect and are affected by the actiona of other
individuala dependa upon gaining a minimallevel of predictability
among those involved. No one could successfully drive to work if
the behavior of other drivera were noi relatively predictable. No
one could operate a stare, if potential consumers did not purcha.
se, rather than stea!, the commodities offered to the public. No
one would ma. ke a. ny investments other than those tha. t would be
made by a solitary individual in an isolated setting (the cla. ssic
Robinson Crusoe situation). One of the ways that individuals
achieve predictability in social arrangements is to a. gree to
follow a set of normative prescriptions a. bout what they must,
must not, or may do. Agreeing to a set of prescriptions is
relatively easy. Actually following those prescriptions over time
when temptations arise offering potentially high payoffs, is not at
all easy. In natural settings, individUala follow agreed upon
prescriptions to a greater or lesser extent depending on
enforcement levels. A frequent assumption made by policy ana. lysts
a. nd game theorists is tha. t enforcement is externa! to the
situa. tion under analysis. That a.
The four volumes of Game Equilibrium Models present applications of
non-cooperative game theory. Problems of strategic interaction
arising in biology, economics, political science and the social
sciences in general are treated in 42 papers on a wide variety of
subjects. Internationally known authors with backgrounds in various
disciplines have contributed original research. The reader finds
innovative modelling combined with advanced methods of analysis.
The four volumes are the outcome of a research year at the Center
for Interdisciplinary Studies of the University of Bielefeld. The
close interaction of an international interdisciplinary group of
researchers has produced an unusual collection of remarkable
results of great interest for everybody who wants to be informed on
the scope, potential, and future direction of work in applied game
theory. Volume III Strategic Bargaining contains ten papers on game
equilibrium models of bargaining. All these contributions look at
bargaining situations as non-cooperative games. General models of
two-person and n-person bargaining are explored.

This comprehensive introduction to the developing field of
neurobehavioral toxicology, offers an extensive evaluation of the
ways in which toxins affect the human nervous system and behavior.
It combines two fields of expertise, neurology and neuropsychology,
both of which are founded on the assessment and treatment of the
nervous system in health and disease, to consider the ways in which
substances impact on the human body. It includes detailed analysis
of individuals with neurological or neurobehavioral disorders and
considers how these may be attributable to neurotoxicants. It also
addresses and critiques the scientific methodologies relevant to
developing a clinical diagnosis of these disorders and their
etiologies. This book, the second of three volumes, concentrates on
peripheral nervous system disorders.
