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.

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

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

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 Brain Code Mechanisms of Information Transfer and the Role of the Corpus Callosum

The Brain Code Mechanisms of Information Transfer and the Role of the Corpus Callosum

Originally published in 1986 this stimulating and unorthodox book integrates the major findings of hemispheric research with the larger questions of how the brain stores and transmits information – the ‘brain code’. Norman Cook emphasizes how the two cerebral hemispheres communicate information over the corpus callosum the largest single nerve tract of the human brain. Excitatory mechanisms are involved in the duplication of information between the hemispheres; in contrast inhibitory mechanisms are implicated in the production of hemispheric asymmetries and crucially in high-level cognitive phenomena such as the right hemisphere’s role in providing the ‘context’ within which left hemispheric verbal information is placed. These callosal mechanisms of information transfer are not only fundamental to the brain code; they are the simplest and most easily demonstrated ways in which the neocortex ‘talks to itself’. The Brain Code demonstrates how popular topics within psychology at the time such as laterality hemisphere differences and the psychology of left and right are central to further progress in understanding the human brain. This book provides stimulating reading for students of psychology artificial intelligence and neurophysiology as well as anyone interested in the broader question of how the brain works. | The Brain Code Mechanisms of Information Transfer and the Role of the Corpus Callosum

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.

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

Living with Mild Brain Injury The Difficulties of Diagnosis and Recovery from Post-Concussion Syndrome

Living with Mild Brain Injury The Difficulties of Diagnosis and Recovery from Post-Concussion Syndrome

This important book presents a unique personal account of the impact a mild traumatic brain injury can have. It tells the story of Pauline who was 33 when a late football tackle caused a bleed in her brain which went undiscovered for 18 months. The account includes descriptions of hidden symptoms of concussion and post-concussion syndrome pitfalls in diagnoses the uneven progress of recovery and the effect of the varied reactions which others have to an acquired brain injury. The author incorporates memories alongside extracts from clinic notes diary entries and emails to reflect the disjointed progress of diagnosis and recovery as- although similar- no two head injuries are the same. Through this book the reader gains an appreciation of the confusion experienced by many brain injury survivors which sheds light on why some may develop unusual behavior or mental health issues and how such issues can be alleviated. Brain injuries are poorly understood by the general public and this can lead to difficult interactions. Moreover complications in diagnosis means some may not realize they have this milder form of brain injury. This book will enlighten brain injury survivors and affected families and allow professionals an insight into their patients’ experiences. As concerns grow over the risks which contact sports pose this book shows how even mild brain injuries can wreak havoc with careers relationships and one’s sense of self but that a happy life can still be found. | Living with Mild Brain Injury The Difficulties of Diagnosis and Recovery from Post-Concussion Syndrome
