Incredible Consequences of Brain Injury The Ways your Brain can Break

The Female Brain

The Female Brain

The first edition of The Female Brain laid the groundwork for gaining a better understanding of the female brain examining the evidence for structural and functional differences between the brains of males and females. Addressing a wealth of new research the second edition continues in this vein leading readers through the basic principles of anatomy and physiology and on to the complex behavioral functions which constitute the workings of the normal and abnormal female brain. Examines Questions about Structural and Functional Differences The book addresses the question of structural and functional differences between the female brain and the male brain. Are there differences? How good is the evidence? Where do the differences lie? Are there differences in the neuroanatomy of females and if so where? Do females and males process information differently and if so how? The author puts the relative lack of information on the female brain into historical perspective and reviews empirical evidence relevant to the different aspects of brain structure and function. She elucidates laterality the functional asymmetry of the brain the left brain-right brain distinctions and how they differ between females and males. A Clear Presentation and Evaluation of Medical and Scientific Evidence Filled with rigorous scientific analysis in an easily accessible format and detailed explanatory diagrams the book systematically develops the topic from anatomy to behavior. It draws on current research to explain why men and women behave differently and why these differences should be exploited when designing research and clinical studies.

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

Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function

Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function

Our brain is recognized by all specialists as the most complex entity created in nature. Regarding the extraordinary capacities of its functioning still incompletely known the control of the brain by our dietary lipids may seem very improbable to many people. Yet research has shown that an imbalance in the intake of essential fatty acids is related to conditions as prevalent as depression bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Research on psychological disorders including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder autism aggressiveness and suicidal behavior are discussed in this text. Several neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis are also explored. Several observations prove that not only are omega-3 fatty acids actively involved in maintaining the noble functions of our brain but other lipids including cholesterol liposoluble vitamins (A D and E) and some carotenoids play roles as well and are presented in this book. Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function focuses on this important research for human health. This book brings readers doctors dietitians and nutritionists arguments that could improve brain development in young people prevent many nervous diseases and slow down the age-related decline of higher brain functions. This book provides helpful information to improve health in the young as well in the old using practical and personalized recommendations for preventing and treating nervous pathologies. Features:• Focuses on the importance of dietary lipids on the proper brain functioning. • Provides relevant references demonstrating the efficiency of dietary lipids to maintain a healthy brain. • Introduces lipid sources and describes their roles by lipid groups in behavior issues and various chronic nervous diseases.

Astrocytes Wiring the Brain

Astrocytes Wiring the Brain

Astrocytes play diverse roles in central nervous system (CNS) function and dysfunction and the connections that the astrocyte makes with other cells of the brain are essential for a variety of important neural tasks. Bringing together contributions from international experts at the top of their field Astrocytes: Wiring the Brain emphasizes cellular connections and surveys the most current findings on astrocyte activity. The first section of the book identifies major astrocyte biomarkers and describes how they define the different connectivity domains. Next the book examines the role of these connections. It explains how their function can be manipulated under physiological conditions and how dysfunction of the connectivity leads to aberrant brain performance. The final section explores the alterations of glia that have been observed in specific diseases of the brain. These include epilepsy autoimmune encephalitis Alzheimer’s disease autism and major depression. The book identifies key mechanisms responsible for these alterations. An important and emerging field astrocytes and their functions are critical to neuroscientists and neurologists both in academia and in industry particularly in the search for and development of new drugs to combat a variety of diseases affecting the CNS. As research continues to grow in this area this volume will spur heightened advances and understanding into the effects of these neural cells on a range of pathologies. | Astrocytes Wiring the Brain

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

Brain Aging Models Methods and Mechanisms

Brain Aging Models Methods and Mechanisms

Recognition that aging is not the accumulation of disease but rather comprises fundamental biological processes that are amenable to experimental study is the basis for the recent growth of experimental biogerontology. As increasingly sophisticated studies provide greater understanding of what occurs in the aging brain and how these changes occur new possibilities emerge for limiting the effects of aging on neural function. A single source reference is necessary to keep abreast of the recent advances and future directions of gerontology research. Brain Aging: Models Methods and Mechanisms offers a selective overview of the research in this rapidly expanding field. A valuable resource for new and established investigators of the aging brain this volume reviews critical studies of brain aging in new animal models as well as advances in brain imaging techniques that permit investigations in aging humans with increasingly higher resolution. Detailed discussions link the information from human and animal studies to illustrate a comprehensive picture of the mechanism of aging. Emphasizing normal brain aging rather than pathological degeneration the text provides an understanding of fundamental age-related changes in the nervous system and hypothesis-driven research into their basis. The book includes critical analyses of the distinct methodological challenges inherent in investigating the aging nervous system. Contributions from distinguished leaders and pioneers in their respective fields address data and mechanisms as well as models and methods that are key to the study of aging. Each chapter is extensively referenced and highlights experimental concerns that are magnified or unique to the aging brain. Outlining relevant methods and techniques this book provides scientists researchers and clinicians with a broad understanding of the important progress and implications for the future of this significant field. | Brain Aging Models Methods and Mechanisms

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

The Microbiome and the Brain

The Microbiome and the Brain

Brain related disorders are among the most challenging health issues of our time. The development of effective therapeutic and preventive strategies for these disorders relies on a comprehensive understanding of the underlying causative mechanisms. And until recently these mechanisms have remained somewhat elusive. The newly discovered pivotal role of the intestinal microbiome in brain health functionality and resistance to disease is revolutionizing neuroscience. The Microbiome and the Brain through the contributions of some of the most forward thinking researchers and clinicians in the field comprehensively reveals the leading edge of our understanding of the fundamental role of gut microbes and their metabolites in a wide array of seemingly diverse brain issues including Alzheimer’s disease autism multiple sclerosis and mood disorders. In addition mechanisms defining these relationships are explored along with a presentation of the state-of-the-art as it relates to interpretation of relevant laboratory assessments. Finally novel therapeutic opportunities derived from this exciting science are presented. Readers will learn:The highly validated relationship between alterations of gut microbes and their metabolites and risk for Alzheimer’s disease. The important link between autism and intestinal dysbiosis. Appropriate interpretation of available laboratory assessments of the intestinal microbiome. The potential role of fecal microbial transplant in neurological diseases. The influence of diet and other lifestyle choices on the microbiome as it relates to brain health and functionality.
