Coma and Disorders of Consciousness: An Overview

Coma and Disorders of consciousness (DoC) result from disruptions of neural systems and connections that regulate arousal and awareness. These terms encompass a spectrum of severity of illness due to a variety of modes and mechanisms of injury and lead to an enormous burden of morbidity and mortality. Additionally, Coma and DoC lead to a tremendous economic burden. For perspective, per 2010 USA data, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated a societal cost of over $76 billion dollars from traumatic brain injury alone!

Therapeutics of Neural Stimulation for Neurological Disorders

This book mainly focuses on diversity of brain diseases, such as sleep disorders, major depression disorder, anxiety disorders, epilepsy, cognitive disorders, etc. It introduces the current pathological mechanisms of various diseases from the perspective of basic theories and research; it introduces the clinical evaluation and treatment of the above diseases from the clinical perspective. In addition, the current frontier research on therapeutics of neural stimulation for the above brain disorder was introduced, such as Transcranial electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation, ultrasonic stimulation, etc., and the therapeutic strategy and stimuli parameters for reference were proposed. This book is aimed at clinical students, doctors and researchers in the field of neurology. Based on major brain diseases, this book systematically proposed the maneuverability, safety and effectiveness of neural stimulation technologies in the treatment of major brain diseases.

Augmentation of Brain Function: Facts, Fiction and Controversy

The final volume in this tripartite series on Brain Augmentation is entitled “From Clinical Applications to Ethical Issues and Futuristic Ideas”. Many of the articles within this volume deal with translational efforts taking the results of experiments on laboratory animals and applying them to humans. In many cases, these interventions are intended to help people with disabilities in such a way so as to either restore or extend brain function. Traditionally, therapies in brain augmentation have included electrical and pharmacological techniques. In contrast, some of the techniques discussed in this volume add specificity by targeting select neural populations. This approach opens the doo...

Combining a non-invasive transcranial stimulation technique with another therapeutic approach: mechanisms of action, therapeutic interest and tolerance

Numerous publications have attested to the therapeutic efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and low-intensity transcranial electrical stimulation (tES). These methods have been used in the treatment of various neurological-related conditions, such as chronic pain, cognitive disorders, movement disorders, or stroke rehabilitation. Across these different fields, evidence suggests therapeutic efficacy could be improved when combining NIBS technique in combination with another type of more commonly utilized therapeutic approaches (e.g., motor and/or cognitive training, pharmacological, physical and neurorehabilitation).

Nonlinearity in Living Systems: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives on Metrics of Physiological Signal Complexity

The biological basis of physiological signals is incredibly complex. While many types of research certainly appreciate molecular, cellular and systems approach to unravel overall biological complexity, in the recent decades the interest for mathematical and computational characterization of structural and functional basis underlying biological phenomena gain wide popularity among scientists. Nowadays, we witnessed wide range applications of nonlinear quantitative analysis that produced measures such as fractal dimension, power-law scaling, Hurst exponent, Lyapunov exponent, approximate entropy, sample entropy, Lempel–Ziv complexity, as well as other metrics for predictions of onset and pro...
