Provides an understanding of developments and advancements in the study of ataxic disorders. This book gives clinicians a reference for the management of the many etiologies and neurological manifestations of ataxic disorders.

Offers information on the technological advancements that have occurred in neuroimaging, thus furthering diagnostic and treatment modalities. This title includes philosophical and ethical implications involving the relationship between clinicians and patients with impaired levels of consciousness.

Suitable for clinicians and researchers, this reference summarizes clinical features and management of many neurological manifestations of sleep disorders. It also offers the research, information, and laboratory techniques on topics such as sleep-wake-dependent genes, the role of sleep duration in mortality and morbidity, and more.

The Handbook of Clinical Neurology volume on traumatic brain injury (TBI) provides the reader with an updated review of emerging approaches to traumatic brain injury (TBI) research, clinical management and rehabilitation of the traumatic brain injury patient. Chapters in this volume range from epidemiology and pathological mechanisms of injury, and neuroprotection to long-term outcomes with a strong emphasis on current neurobiological approaches to describing the consequences and mechanisms of recovery from TBI. The book presents contemporary investigations on blast injury and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, making this state-of-the-art volume a must have for clinicians and researchers concerned with the clinical management, or investigation, of TBI. Internationally renowned scientists describe cutting edge research on the neurobiological response to traumatic brain injury, including descriptions of potential biomarkers and indicators of potential targets for treatments to reduce the impact of the injuryExplores cellular and molecular mechanisms as well as genetic predictors of outcomeOffers coverage of various diagnostic tools - CT, MRI, DDTI, fMRI, EEG, resting functional imaging, and moreState-of-the-art traumatic brain injury management and treatment principles are presented for both civilian and military care

The neuroscience of the human auditory system is a dynamic area of basic research with dramatic clinical application. This volume provides a comprehensive and focused reference on the neuroscience of hearing and the associated neurological diagnosis and treatment of auditory disorders.

The Handbook of Clinical Neurology volumes on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) provide the reader with an updated review of emerging approaches to TBI research, clinical management and patient rehabilitation. Chapters in Part II offer coverage of clinical sequelae and long-term outcome, brain plasticity and long-term risks, and clinical trials.  Contemporary investigations on blast injury and chronic traumatic encephalopathy are presented, making this state-of-the-art volume a must have for clinicians and researchers concerned with the clinical management, or investigation, of TBI. Internationally renowned scientists describe cutting edge research on the neurobiological response to traumatic brain injury, including complications to movement, mood, cognition and moreExplores cellular/molecular and genetic factors contributing to plasticity Presents up-to-date expert recommendation for clinical trials and issues related to effective rehabilitationNew findings are included on the long-term effects of traumatic brain injury that may impact aging and lead to dementia
