Law Gender Identity and the Brain Exploring Brain-Sex Theories in Judicial Decisions on Trans and Intersex Minors

Law Gender Identity and the Brain Exploring Brain-Sex Theories in Judicial Decisions on Trans and Intersex Minors

This book challenges law’s reliance on neurology’s brain-sex binary. The brain has become the latest candidate in a historical search for a reliable and fixed biological marker of ‘true sex’ that has permeated every aspect of Western culture including law. As definitions of the sexed and gendered body have become ever more contentious the development and dissemination of brain-sex theories have come to dominate popular understanding of LGBTI+ identities. But this book argues the brain is no more helpful than earlier biological measures in ensuring just outcomes. Examining how law determines and differentiates ‘male’ and ‘female’ in two contested areas of sexed identity –through a discussion of Australian cases authorising medical interventions to alter the embodied sex characteristics of transgender minors and intersex minors –the book demonstrates an incoherence in the legal understanding of gender identity development. As the brain too fails as a convincing biological anchor for the binary sex categories of male and female law must it is argued retreat from its aspiration to create define and regulate artificially bounded sex categories of male and female. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students in a range of disciplines who are working at the intersection of law gender and sexuality. | Law Gender Identity and the Brain Exploring Brain-Sex Theories in Judicial Decisions on Trans and Intersex Minors

Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury

Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury

This book brings together narrative approaches and brain injury rehabilitation in a manner that fosters an understanding of the natural fit between the two. We live our lives by narratives and stories and brain injury can affect those narratives at many levels with far-reaching effects. Understanding held narratives is as important as understanding the functional profile of the injury. This book explores ways to create a space for personal stories to emerge and change whilst balancing theory with practical application. Despite the emphasis of this book on the compatibility of narrative approaches to supporting people following brain injury it also illustrates the potential for contributing to significant change in the current narratives of brain injury. This book takes a philosophically different approach to many current neuro-rehabilitation topics and has the potential to make a big impact. It also challenges the reader to question their own position but does so in an engaging manner which makes it difficult to put down. | Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury

Brain and Mind

Brain and Mind

The relationship between brain and mind is one of the most baffling problems in science but potentially one of the most interesting. First published in 1985 this collection of original essays traces the development of mind in animals and human beings from its origins in the evolution of larger brains with a capacity for creating mental models of the environment. Examples are given of the way in which the brain may use this increased capacity to represent both the physical and social worlds and the authors suggest that this type of mental activity might underly what human beings recognize in themselves as ‘awareness’ or ‘consciousness’. Brain and Mind brings together much of the latest research and provides a useful framework for the study of this increasingly important subject. The contributors are experts in a wide range of disciplines and draw their conclusions from a broad base of clinical and experimental evidence. Students of psychology zoology anatomy medicine and philosophy as well as anyone who has wondered about their own mind and its relation to the brain will find this a fascinating and stimulating source.

Brain Art and Neuroscience Neurosensuality and Affective Realism

Brain Art and Neuroscience Neurosensuality and Affective Realism

The first of its kind this book examines artistic representations of the brain after the rise of the contemporary neurosciences examining the interplay of art and science and tackling some of the critical-cultural implications. Weaving an MRI pattern onto a family quilt. Scanning the brain of a philosopher contemplating her own death and hanging it in a museum. Is this art or science or something in-between? What does it mean? How might we respond? In this ground-breaking new book David R. Gruber explores the seductive and influential position of the neurosciences amid a growing interest in affect and materiality as manifest in artistic representations of the human brain. Contributing to debates surrounding the value and/or purpose of interdisciplinary engagement happening in the neuro-humanities Gruber emphasizes the need for critical-cultural analysis within the field. Engaging with New Materialism and Affect Theory the book provides a current and concrete example of the on-going shift away from constructivist lenses arguing that the influence of relatively new neuroscience methods (EEG MRI and fMRI) on the visual arts has not yet been fully realised. In fact the very idea of a brain as it is seen and encountered today—or The Brain as Gruber calls it—remains in need of critical wild and rebellious re-imagination. Illuminating how artistic engagement with the brain is often sensual and suggestive even if rooted in objectivist impulses and tied to scientific realism this book is ideal for scholars in Art Media Studies Sociology and English departments as well visual artists and anyone seriously engaging discourses of the brain. | Brain Art and Neuroscience Neurosensuality and Affective Realism

The Ecological Brain Unifying the Sciences of Brain Body and Environment

The Ecological Brain Unifying the Sciences of Brain Body and Environment

The Ecological Brain is the first book of its kind using complexity science to integrate the seemingly disparate fields of ecological psychology and neuroscience. The book develops a unique framework for unifying investigations and explanations of mind that span brain body and environment: the NeuroEcological Nexus Theory (NExT). Beginning with an introduction to the history of the fields the author provides an assessment of why ecological psychology and neuroscience are commonly viewed as irreconcilable methods for investigating and explaining cognition intelligent behavior and the systems that realize them. The book then progresses to its central aim: presenting a unified investigative and explanatory framework offering concepts methods and theories applicable across neural and ecological scales of investigation. By combining the core principles of ecological psychology neural population dynamics and synergetics under a unified complexity science approach NExT offers a compressive investigative framework to explain and understand neural bodily and environmental contributions to perception-action and other forms of intelligent behavior and thought. The book progresses the conversation around the role of brains in ecological psychology as well as bodies and environments in neuroscience. It is essential reading for all students of ecological psychology perception cognitive sciences and neuroscience as well as anyone interested in the history and philosophy of the brain/mind sciences and their state-of-the-art methods and theories. | The Ecological Brain Unifying the Sciences of Brain Body and Environment

Evaluating the Brain Disease Model of Addiction

Evaluating the Brain Disease Model of Addiction

This ground-breaking book advances the fundamental debate about the nature of addiction. As well as presenting the case for seeing addiction as a brain disease it brings together all the most cogent and penetrating critiques of the brain disease model of addiction (BDMA) and the main grounds for being skeptical of BDMA claims. The idea that addiction is a brain disease dominates thinking and practice worldwide. However the editors of this book argue that our understanding of addiction is undergoing a revolutionary change from being considered a brain disease to a disorder of voluntary behavior. The resolution of this controversy will determine the future of scientific progress in understanding addiction together with necessary advances in treatment prevention and societal responses to addictive disorders. This volume brings together the various strands of the contemporary debate about whether or not addiction is best regarded as a brain disease. Contributors offer arguments for and against and reasons for uncertainty; they also propose novel alternatives to both brain disease and moral models of addiction. In addition to reprints of classic articles from the addiction research literature each section contains original chapters written by authorities on their chosen topic. The editors have assembled a stellar cast of chapter authors from a wide range of disciplines – neuroscience philosophy psychiatry psychology cognitive science sociology and law – including some of the most brilliant and influential voices in the field of addiction studies today. The result is a landmark volume in the study of addiction which will be essential reading for advanced students and researchers in addiction as well as professionals such as medical practitioners psychiatrists psychologists of all varieties and social workers. | Evaluating the Brain Disease Model of Addiction

Autism and The Predictive Brain Absolute Thinking in a Relative World

Autism and The Predictive Brain Absolute Thinking in a Relative World

What if our previous teachings and beliefs regarding processing stimuli reading emotions and understanding human behaviour is all untrue? In this book Peter Vermeulen investigates new findings on the predictive brain and what these insights mean for autism and current interventions. Recent research has shown that the classic ideas about how the human brain first needs to process incoming information about the world before it can react are no longer tenable. Rather to survive in the volatile uncertain complex and ambiguous environment of modern society what we need is a brain that predicts the world quickly and unconsciously while taking proper account of the context. This book explains the new theories relating to the predictive brain summarising some of the more recent highly technical research studies about the predictive mind and autism into as accessible and understandable language as possible. Shedding new light on the predictive brain and its relation to autism the chapters lead readers to the inevitable conclusion that many of the current interventions used in connection with autism urgently need updating and outline possibilities for revising. This approachable book synthesises advanced research for professionals across disciplines working with people with autism spectrum disorder along with readers who have or have family members with ASD. | Autism and The Predictive Brain Absolute Thinking in a Relative World

Minimal Brain Dysfunction A Prospective Study

Minimal Brain Dysfunction A Prospective Study

The concept of Minimal Brain Dysfunction (a previous term for ADHD) has had a tumultuous and some would say checkered history. Originally published in 1981 this title was one of a series of volumes dealing with specific developmental problems in children whose mothers registered for prenatal care in the Collaborative Perinatal Project (NCPP) of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke (NINCDS). In this volume relationships between symptoms of minimal brain dysfunction and more than 300 prenatal and postnatal variables are examined in a cohort of nearly 30 000 7-year-old children. Despite greater understanding more recently diagnosis and treatment continue to cause controversy. This is an early investigation into the concept of MBD and its causes today it can be read in its historical context. | Minimal Brain Dysfunction A Prospective Study
