The UNC-53-mediated Interactome
Analysis of its Role in the Generation of the C. elegans Connectome
Language: English
Release Date: July 5, 2014
This book gives an overview of various interactomes involved in dorsal ventral (DV) and anterior posterior (AP) guidance, their mechanisms of action, subcellular localizations, and functional roles. It will provide readers a better understanding of the development of the nervous system, which in turn...
Pharmacoresistance in Epilepsy
From Genes and Molecules to Promising Therapies
Language: English
Release Date: July 8, 2014
Although more than 10 new antiepileptic drugs have been developed in the past decade, epilepsy remains resistant to drug therapy in about one third of patients, many of whom struggle with the disease their entire lives. Managing these patients is a challenge and requires a structured multidisciplinary...
Alcohol and the Brain
Chronic Effects
Language: English
Release Date: June 29, 2013
Chronic and excessive alcohol consumption disrupts a number of biologic sys tems. Central nervous system pathology, associated with long-standing alcohol ingestion, has particularly deleterious consequences to the individual. Compro mising brain functional integrity ultimately militates against...

Physiology and Pathology of Chloride Transporters and Channels in the Nervous System
From Molecules to Diseases
Language: English
Release Date: August 22, 2009
The importance of chloride ions in cell physiology has not been fully recognized until recently, in spite of the fact that chloride (Cl-), together with bicarbonate, is the most abundant free anion in animal cells, and performs or determines fundamental biological functions in all tissues. For many...

Adult neurogenesis has been questioned for many years. In the early 1900s, a dogma was established that denied new neuron formation in the adult brain. In the last century however, new discoveries have demonstrated the real existence of proliferation in the adult brain, and in the last decade, these...
Behavioral Lateralization in Vertebrates
Two Sides of the Same Coin
Language: English
Release Date: July 16, 2012
Functional lateralization in the human brain was first identified in the classic observations by Broca in the 19th century. Only one hundred years later, however, research on this topic began anew, discovering that humans share brain lateralization not only with other mammals, but with other vertebrates...
Atoms of Mind
The "Ghost in the Machine" Materializes
Language: English
Release Date: April 20, 2011
This book describes the author’s view of how the mind “thinks” at various levels of operation. These levels include nonconscious mind (as in spinal/brainstem reflexes and neuroendocrine controls), subconscious mind, and conscious mind. In the attempt to explain conscious mind, there is considerable...
