Comparative Neuropsychology and Brain Imaging
This volume is a special commemorative publication in honor of Professor Dr. Ulrike Halsband, from the University of Freiburg in Germany, on the occasion of her 60th birthday, and includes chapters specially written for the volume, with recent views, reviews and results on such fields as functioneuroanatomytomy, neuropsychology, education, animal behavior, altered states of consciousness, hypnosis and the history of psychology in Germany. The contributors are internationally well-known scholars from academic and clinical institutions abroad in Europe. --
Drug Studies in the Elderly
Clinical trials are the most definitive tool for evaluation of the applica bility of clinical investigations. The main objective of clinical investiga tions is to assess the potential value of a therapeutic entity in the treat ment or prophylaxis of a disease or a condition. It is also deemed necessary at this stage to obtain information regarding the undesirable side effects, associated risks, and their interrelationship with clinical assessments. Most of these clinical investigations conform, in some form or fashion, to the guidelines adopted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a given class of compounds. Clinical investigations in the past have not included specific studies in special or subpopulations, e.g., the elderly. Because of an ever-increasing elderly population, newer policies for clinical investigations are now being debated with the recognition of enhanced drug sensitivity in this special population. This key research activity can lead not only to improved health care in the elderly but also to control of its costs.

Mental Practice: Clinical and Experimental Research in Imagery and Action Observation
There is now strong evidence demonstrating that the brain simulates action and other functions. Such action simulation can be evoked through conscious mental rehearsal of movement or imagery, but also through passive action observation watching movements in others. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that mental rehearsal of movement, or mental practice, can produce improvements normally attributed to practising actual movements. It is currently assumed that such improvements are due to neural activation associated with action simulation. However the neuroscience of mental practice efficacy is still poorly understood. The aim of this research topic is to clarify the underlying mechanis...
