The Mind and the Brain
A leading researcher in brain dysfunction and a "Wall Street Journal" science writer demonstrate that the human mind is an independent entity that can shape and control the physical brain.
The Parahippocampal Region
A study of the basic science and clinical applications of the parahippocampal region, taken from the proceedings of a New York Academy of Sciences conference held in September 1999. Neuroscience research in this region suggests that its neuropathy contributes directly to the progression of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and epilepsy. These papers and posters integrate gains in our knowledge of the structure and function of the parahippocampus into diagnostic and intervention pathways to treatment of these debilitating diseases. The studies provide a survey of research on parahippocampal anatomy, biochemistry and physiology and its interaction with other structures, including the amygdala and the hippocampal regions. The book offers views of the hippocampus, drawn both from laboratory animal research and from human subjects, and suggests ways of continuing the most promising areas with imaging and modelling techniques.
The Oxford Handbook of Music and the Body
The presence of the phenomenological body is central to music in all of its varieties and contradictions. With the explosion of scholarly works on the body in virtually every field in the humanities, the social as well as the biomedical sciences, the question of how such a complex understanding of the body is related to music, with its own complexity, has been investigated within specific disciplinary perspectives. The Oxford Handbook of Music and the Body brings together scholars from across these fields, providing a platform for the discussion of the multidimensional interfaces of music and the body. The book is organized into six sections, each discussing a topic that defines the field: the moving and performing body; the musical brain and psyche; embodied mind, embodied rhythm; the disabled and sexual body; music as medicine; and the multimodal body. Connecting a wide array of diverse perspectives and presenting a survey of research and practice, the Handbook provides an introduction into the rich world of music and the body.
Scientific Atheism in East Germany (1963-1990)
This book offers an in-depth, archive-based analysis of “scientific atheism”, focused on the development of the field in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Scientific atheism was established as a Soviet import in 1963 at Jena University, with a presence in East German universities, propaganda and politics for nearly 30 years. The chapters explore the sociological work done by scientific atheists such as Olof Klohr, how they defined religion and atheism, and their role as actors of atheisation in various fields. As well as reflecting on the specific religious and political context in East Germany, the author makes comparison with other communist-ruled countries. Drawing on extensive and unique documentation, this book will be of interest to scholars of atheism and secularism, religion and politics, religious history, German history and East European studies.
Neuropsychologie
Reine Nervensache! Die Folgen, die bei Ausfällen in bestimmten Hirnregionen auftreten können, sind vielfältig und reichen von Amusie über Neglect bis zu Störungen der Sprache und des Bewusstseins. Aber neben den durch Hirnschäden hervorgerufenen neuropsychologischen Leistungsstörungen ist auch das Verständnis der zugrunde liegenden Funktionen unverzichtbar. Daher werden klinische Störungsmuster, neuroanatomische, neurophysiologische und allgemein-psychologische Grundlagen u.a. zu folgenden Themenbereichen aufgeführt: Sprache, visuelle Wahrnehmung, Musikwahrnehmung, Erkennen von Objekten, Gesichtern und Geräuschen. Der Einstieg in die Neuropsychologie macht Spaß: Merksätze und Zusammenfassungen erleichtern das Lernen; Fallbeispiele und Exkurse vertiefen das Wissen. Neu in der 2. Auflage: Zusätzliche Kapitel zu bildgebenden Verfahren und zur Zahlenverarbeitung und Glossar zum Nachschlagen der wichtigsten Fachbegriffe.
The East German Church and the End of Communism
Drawing on his own research in East Germany and relying primarily on sources published in East Germany itself, author John Burgess demonstrates the roots of the church's theology in Barth, Bonhoeffer, and in the Barmen declaration, which in 1934 pronounced Christianity and Nazi ideology to be incompatible.
