The Couch, the Clinic, and the Scanner is an insightful first-person account of psychiatry¿s evolution. In vivid stories and essays, David Hellerstein explores the lived experience of psychiatric work and the daunting challenges of healing the mind amid ever-changing theoretical models.

Simon LeVay introduces readers to a memorable cast of researchers trying to unravel the many mysteries that surround sex and sexuality. He distills vast expertise on the biology and psychology of sex into an engaging and easy-to-understand survey with scientific acumen, a critical eye, and a sense of humor.

This book provides a reference guide describing the current status of medication in all major psychiatric and neurological indications, together with comparisons of pharmacological treatment strategies in clinical settings in Europe, USA, Japan and China. In addition, it highlights herbal medicine as used in China and Japan, as well as complementary medicine and nutritional aspects. This novel approach offers international readers a global approach in a single dedicated publication and is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in comparing treatments for psychiatric disorders in three different cultural areas. There are three volumes devoted to Basic Principles and General Aspects, offering a general overview of psychopharmacotherapy (Vol. 1); Classes, Drugs and Special Aspects covering the role of psychotropic drugs in the field of psychiatry and neurology (Vol. 2) and Applied Psychopharmacotherapy focusing on applied psychopharmacotherapy (Vol. 3). These books are invaluable to psychiatrists, neurologists, neuroscientists, medical practitioners and clinical psychologists.

In diesem Buch wird die Kunsttherapie, ein spezifisches Instrument zur Erhaltung der Gesundheit im Bereich der affektiven Entwicklung, der Rehabilitation, der Motorik und der kognitiven Funktionen, eingehend analysiert und diskutiert. Kunsttherapie basiert auf der Annahme, dass der Prozess des künstlerischen Schaffens ¿ Musik, Tanz, Malerei ¿ Emotionen auslöst und die Gehirnaktivität steigert. Sie wird eingesetzt, um das persönliche Wachstum zu fördern, bestimmte Gehirnbereiche oder Aktivitätsmuster zu unterstützen und die neuronale Vernetzung zu verbessern. Die Behandlung neurologischer Erkrankungen mit künstlerischen Strategien bietet uns eine einzigartige Möglichkeit, die strukturellen Netzwerke des Gehirns zu beeinflussen und die Fähigkeit des Gehirns zur Bildung neuer Verbindungen zu verbessern. Auf der Grundlage der Plastizität des Gehirns hat Kunsttherapie das Potenzial, unser Repertoire zur Behandlung neurologischer Erkrankungen zu erweitern. Neuronale Substrate sind die Grundlage komplexer Emotionen bei Kunsterfahrungen und gehen mit einer umfassenden Aktivierung kognitiver und motorischer Systeme einher. Dementsprechend vermag Kunsttherapie Verhalten, Kognition, Aufmerksamkeit und Bewegung zu modulieren. In diesem Zusammenhang kann die Kunsttherapie wirksame Instrumente zur Verbesserung des allgemeinen Wohlbefindens, der Lebensqualität und der Motivation im Zusammenhang mit neurologischen Erkrankungen bieten. Das Buch erörtert die Kunsttherapie als ein mögliches Verfahren zur Behandlung neurologischer Störungen und nähert sich dem Verhältnis zwischen humanistischen Disziplinen und der Neurologie aus einer ganzheitlichen Perspektive, die das wachsende Interesse an dieser Verzahnung widerspiegelt.Dieses Buch stellt eine Übersetzung einer ursprünglich englischsprachigen Ausgabe dar. Die Übersetzung wurde mithilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz vorgenommen (maschinelle Übersetzung durch DeepL.com). Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung wurde vorwiegend im Hinblick auf den Inhalt durchgeführt, sodass sich das Buch sich stilistisch von einer herkömmlichen Übersetzung unterscheidet.

This book presents studies of the main conditions that affect health and well-being of old people. Considering the present scenario of COVID-19, the effects of this viral infection on individuals older than 65 years are also discussed. The content enables professionals of health and government for the present and future actions in this important area.Readers go through  the changes occurring in organs and tissues that can interfere with susceptibility to infections, low response to vaccines, cancer, and loss of cognition during the aging process.A discussion of the central role played by the immune system in the age-related diseases and how the immunity can be impaired during the ageing process is presented. Possibilities to circumvent these conditions via healthy habits in diet, physical exercise, and new pharmacological interventions are part of the content.    This book discusses how human healthy longevity is dependent, at least in part, of a functional immune system. Chapters were written for researchers in the field of aging and is especially suited for those interested in the study of immunosenescence and inflammaging affecting the health of old individuals.

Dieses Sachbuch informiert mit eingängigen Zeichnungen und in verständlichen Worten über die neuesten Ergebnisse zu Forschung und Therapie der Nervenregeneration. Warum regenerieren Nerven in den Extremitäten, die Axone im Rückenmark aber nicht? Können transplantierte Stammzellen oder Biopolymere die Regeneration wieder ermöglichen? Sind Bioprothesen in der Lage, amputierte Arme oder Beine funktionell zu ersetzen? Der Neurowissenschaftler Lars Klimaschewski beantwortet diese Fragen und berichtet über spannende Erkenntnisse aus der Anatomie, Zell- und Molekularbiologie sowie aus der Neurotechnologie. Erfahren Sie unter anderem, wie eine Gehirn-Computer-Schnittstelle Signale aus dem Gehirn verarbeitet, um über Elektroden die Arm- oder Beinmuskeln nach einer Querschnittslähmung wieder anzusteuern.

"KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 encode subunits (KV7.2, KV7.3) that combine to form a voltagegated potassium ion (K ) channel responsible for generating an ionic current (M-current) important for controlling activity in the nervous system. Pathogenic variants in both genes are associated with a spectrum of genetic neurological disorders that feature epilepsy of variable severity and can be accompanied by debilitating impaired neurodevelopment. These two genes were among the first discovered causes of monogenic epilepsy, and are frequently identified in persons with early-life epilepsy. This Element provides a comprehensive review of the clinical features, genetic basis, pathophysiology, pharmacology and treatment of these prototypical neurological disorders accompanied by perspectives shared by affected families and scientists who have made seminal contributions to the field"--

A groundbreaking synthesis that promises to shift our understanding of the mind-brain connection and its relationship with our bodies.

This open access volume provides an overview of the latest methods used to study neuronal function with all-optical experimental approaches, where light is used for both stimulation and monitoring of neuronal activity. The chapters in this book cover topics over a broad range, from fundamental background information in both physiology and optics in the context of all-optical neurophysiology experiments, to the design principles and hardware implementation of optical methods used for photoactivation and imaging. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, All-Optical Methods to Study Neuronal Function is a valuable resource for researchers in various disciplines such as physics, engineering, and neuroscience. This book will serve as a guide to establish useful references for groups starting out in this field, and provide insight on the optical systems, actuators, and sensors. This is an open access book.
