Nonlinear Dynamics of Parkinson's Disease and the Basal Ganglia-Thalamic-Cortical System examines current research regarding the operations of the basal ganglia-thalamic-cortical system that causes neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease. While there have been remarkable advances in the understanding of the anatomy, physiology and chemistry of these systems, there remains a significant degree of inconsistency and incompleteness between facts and advancements. This book introduces the novel concepts of nonlinear complex systems and their connection to Parkinsonism as well as hyperkinetic disorders. The actual mechanisms underlying the motor disorders of Parkinson's disease at the level of the lower motor neuron are also discussed. - Outlines phenomenological selectivity of pallidotomy and Deep Brain Stimulation - Reviews the anatomical models of pathophysiology and physiology - Discusses the instrumental and analytical misrepresentations and the inferences that misrepresent the data in Nonmonotonic Nonlinear Dynamics
The basal ganglia constitute a group of subcortical structures, highly interconnected among themselves, as well as with the cerebral cortex, thalamus and other brain areas. These nuclei play a central role in the control of voluntary movement, and their specific pathology comprises the group of diseases known as movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, dystonia and Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, among others. Additionally, the presence of a number of circuits within the basal ganglia related to non-motor functions has been acknowledged. Currently, the basal ganglia are thought to participate in cognitive, limbic and learning functions. Moreover, disorders rel...
This book provides a reference guide for researchers, scientists and industrialists working in the area of soft computing, and highlights the latest advances in and applications of soft computing techniques in multidisciplinary areas. Gathering papers presented at the International Conference on Soft Computing: Theories and Applications (SoCTA 2016), which was held in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, on December 28–30, 2016, it focuses on applying soft computing to solve real-life problems arising in various domains, from medical and healthcare to supply chain management, image processing and cryptanalysis. The term soft computing represents an umbrella term for computational techniques like fuzzy logic, neural networks and nature inspired algorithms. In the past few decades, there has been an exponential rise in the application of soft computing techniques to address complex and intricate problems in diverse spheres of life. The versatility of these techniques has made them a favourite among scientists and researchers alike.
Some issues include separately paged sections: Better management, Physical theatre, extra profits; Review; Servisection.
This book presents a comprehensive view of recent developments in the theory of international trade agreements and political economy, by focusing on research by Raymond Riezman. This pioneering work introduced terms of trade effects and strategic behavior to the theory of international trade agreements. This is complemented by a careful analysis of how politics affects international trade agreements.The book brings together work which focuses on the question of why international trade agreements occur and what forms they take.
An Indian perspective into native and Euroamerican diplomacy in the South First published in 1939, McGillivray of the Creeks is a unique mix of primary and secondary sources for the study of American Indian history in the Southeast. The historian John Walton Caughey's brief but definitive biography of Creek leader Alexander McGillivray (1750-1793) is coupled with 214 letters between McGillivray and Spanish and American political officials. The volume offers distinctive firsthand insights into Creek and Euroamerican diplomacy in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi in the aftermath of the American Revolution as well as a glimpse into how historians have viewed the controversial Creek leader. McG...
