Specialists from around the world describe the use of brain mapping technologies in evaluating patients with neurological, neurosurgical, and psychiatric disorders. Arranged by disorder, the 26 highly illustrated studies examine background and technical issues; neurological, pediatric, and psychiatric disorders; and therapeutics and the recovery of function. Among the examples of specific techniques to evaluate patients with specific disorders are functional imaging studies of aphasia, magnetic resonance imaging in multiple sclerosis, and functional neuroimaging studies of schizophrenia. This is the third volume of four devoted to brain mapping. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Brain Mapping: The Disorders is the first comprehensive text to describe the uses of the latest brain mapping technologies in the evaluation of patients with neurological, neurosurgical and psychiatric disorders. With contributions from the leading figures in the field, this heavily illustrated text is organized by disorders of brain systems, with specific examples of how one should use current neuroimaging techniques to evaluate patients with specific cerebral disorders. Comprehensive in scope, the text discusses patient evaluations using the wide range of modern magnetic resonance imaging techniques, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, optical intrinsic signal imaging, electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. The third in this brain mapping series, Brain Mapping: The Disorders, is the ultimate text for anyone interested in the use of brain mapping techniques to study patients with disorders of the central nervous system.
Key Features
* Provides a comprehensive, in-depth view of the current brain mapping techniques as they are used in the evaluation of patients with cerebral disorders
* Heavily illustrated to provide actual examples of the use of the specific techniques
* Includes contributions from the leaders in the field ensure authoritative and up-to-date material
* Completes the trilogy of three brain mapping texts dealing, respectively, with the methods, the applications of these methods in the normal brain and in patients with neurological, neurosurgical, and psychiatric disorders
