This comprehensive reference on therapeutic repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) documents the current status in the field. The main focus is the clinical applications of rTMS tested to date, including treatment of paresis, aphasia, and visual neglect in stroke patients, therapy for motor impairment in Parkinson’s disease, and applications for tinnitus and neuropathic pain. Based on the available clinical evidence (RCTs, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews), combined with the personal experience of experts, a clinically oriented best evidence synthesis is provided for each application, together with a clear description of rTMS algorithms that generate clinical benefits in the target domain. A further feature is the presentation of a theoretical model of therapeutic action for each therapeutic target. The book will be invaluable for clinicians and researchers in neurology and related fields, including neurologists, physiatrists, as well as ENT and pain specialists.
This book provides a comprehensive overview on Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and the clinical applications of this promising technique. Separated into three parts, the book begins with basic principles, mechanisms and approaches of tDCS. This is followed by a step-by-step practicum, methodological considerations and ethics and professional conduct pertaining to this novel technique. Chapters are authored by renowned experts who also direct and plan tDCS educational events worldwide. Bridging the existing gap in instructional materials for tDCS while addressing growing interest in education in this field, professionals within a broad range of medical disciplines will find this text to be an invaluable guide.
This book critically explores and analyses the scientific and ethical debates surrounding cognitive enhancers. Including contributions from neuroscientists, neuropsychopharmacologists, ethicists, philosophers, public health professionals, and policy researchers, the book offers a multidisciplinary, critical consideration of this topic.
Join Ricker on a wild and edifying romp through the cutting-edge world of neuroscience and biohacking. You'll encounter Olympic athletes, a game show contestant, a memory marvel, a famous CEO, and scientists galore. From Ricker's decade-long quest, you will discover: - The brain-based reason so many self-improvement projects fail . . . But how a little-known secret of Nobel Prize winning scientists could finally unlock success - How your strength in four key areas - executive function, emotional regulation, learning and memory, and creativity - predicts your success in work and relationships, and a new system for improving all four - Which seven research-tested tools can supercharge mental p...
De cele mai multe ori, textele de dezvoltare personală au un caracter general și s-ar putea să nici nu ți se potrivească. Ei bine, textul lui Elizabeth R. Ricker îți propune altceva: experimente științifice riguroase din domenii variate, inclusiv nutriție, pe care autoarea le-a făcut întâi pe ea însăși, înainte de a le recomanda mai departe. Din astfel de teste reiese cât de diferiți suntem de fapt. Așa că, în loc de soluții gata făcute și rețete magice, Ricker îți arată cum să compari strategiile de autoperfecționare și să o alegi singur pe cea care ți se potrivește. Nu în ultimul rând, cartea îți dezvăluie cele mai noi descoperiri din neuroștiințe, care pun creierul uman într-o perspectivă surprinzătoare, de neimaginat până în prezent.

Мозг каждого из нас работает не в полную силу. Его скрытый потенциал невероятен. Но недостаточная развитость одной из когнитивных способностей: восприятия, анализа информации, внимания, памяти или речи – может помешать нашей продуктивности. Представьте, что вы могли бы овладеть навыком, о котором давно мечтали, и прокачать любую сферу жизни.Нейробиолог и востребованный эксперт ...
This volume makes clear that the cognitive and behavioural symptoms of neurologic disorders and syndromes are dynamic and changing. Each chapter describes the neuroplastic processes at work in a particular condition, giving rise to these ongoing cognitive changes.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
