Psychoneuroendocrinology Research Trends
Psychoneuroendocrinology is the clinical study of hormone fluctuations and their relationship to human behaviour. It may be viewed from the perspective of psychiatry, where in certain mood disorders, there are associated neuroendocrine or hormonal changes. It may also be viewed from the perspective of endocrinology, where certain endocrine disorders can be associated with psychiatric illness. It is the blend of psychiatry and endocrinology. This new book presents the latest research advances in the field.
Memory and motivational/emotional processes
It is well established that memory for emotional information is generally better than for neutral information. This Research Topic comprises a set of papers focusing on memory and its relation with motivational and emotional processes, ranging from electroencephalographic evidences of emotional modulation of memory systems, to the role of neurotransmitters/neuromodulators (i.e. endocannabinoid, glucocorticoid, serotonin, noradrenergic, dopaminergic systems), and second messengers on emotional memory, and the specific involvement of cerebral areas on the relation between memory and motivational/emotional processes (i.e. prefrontal cortex, amygdala, accumbens). In particular, some of the topic...
The Mexican Aristocracy
The Mexican aristocracy today is simultaneously an anachronism and a testimony to the persistence of social institutions. Shut out from political power by the democratization movements of the twentieth century, stripped of the basis of its great wealth by land reforms in the 1930s, the aristocracy nonetheless maintains a strong sense of group identity through the deeply held belief that their ancestors were the architects and rulers of Mexico for nearly four hundred years. This expressive ethnography describes the transformation of the Mexican aristocracy from the onset of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, when the aristocracy was unquestionably Mexico's highest-ranking social class, until the...
International Psychology
While acknowledging their major debt to Europeans like Freud, Piaget, Erickson, Lewin, and Jung, American psychologists generally concentrated on developments in American psychology. And this tendency prevails in spite of the fact that innovations—in sport psychology and clinical neuropsychology, for example—have continued to come from abroad. International Psychology is a much-needed exposition of the state of psychology in forty-five countries, including the Soviet Union and the United States. Emphasizing the period from 1960 to the present, and surveying the training, research, and practice of psychologists on six continents, this volume introduces a widely dispersed network of occupa...
Electroencephalography
The development of non-invasive brain function measurement has enabled the knowledge that brain activity is the basis of human behavior and mental activity. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a method that measures the electrical nerve activity (primary signal) in the brain. EEG characteristics include high time resolution and low spatial resolution, but recently it has become possible to estimate the source of EEG signals due to advances in analysis and measurement techniques. Moreover, in the medical field, EEG is usually used as examination equipment, but it has been used as a rehabilitation tool to control human behavior and mental activity in recent years. This book outlines basic research and clinical applications of EEG.
Data Processing Techniques and Applications for Cyber-Physical Systems (DPTA 2019)
This book covers cutting-edge and advanced research on data processing techniques and applications for Cyber-Physical Systems. Gathering the proceedings of the International Conference on Data Processing Techniques and Applications for Cyber-Physical Systems (DPTA 2019), held in Shanghai, China on November 15–16, 2019, it examines a wide range of topics, including: distributed processing for sensor data in CPS networks; approximate reasoning and pattern recognition for CPS networks; data platforms for efficient integration with CPS networks; and data security and privacy in CPS networks. Outlining promising future research directions, the book offers a valuable resource for students, researchers and professionals alike, while also providing a useful reference guide for newcomers to the field.
The Two Halves of the Brain
State-of-the-art research on brain asymmetry, explained from molecular to clinical levels.
Lo scaffale degli scrittori: la letteratura e gli altri saperi
«L’operazione d’uno scrittore è tanto più importante quanto più lo scaffale ideale in cui vorrebbe situarsi è uno scaffale anche improbabile, con libri che non si è abituati a mettere l’uno a fianco dell’altro e il cui accostamento può produrre scosse elettriche, corti circuiti», così scriveva Italo Calvino ne Lo scaffale ipotetico, saggio del 1967 pubblicato su “Rinascita” in seguito a un’inchiesta aperta da Gian Carlo Ferretti sul tema: Per chi si scrive? Sulla scorta del pensiero calviniano, il volume si propone di indagare l’iter di costituzione degli scaffali d’autore nei quali confluiscono saperi diversi. Scienza, medicina, filosofia, storia, musica e arte compongono, infatti, un patrimonio culturale vasto con cui da sempre i letterati si sono confrontati e con il quale, continuamente, si trovano a dialogare.
