This Research Topic aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to aid in the classification; diagnosis; visualization; prognosis and treatment of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders using brain imaging methods. Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance the science. The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. Novelty and the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of novel brain imaging methods that aid clinicians in handling neurol...
New developments in medical technology have paved the way for the ongoing studies of cognitive neuroscience and biomedical engineering for healthcare. Their different but interconnected aspects of science and technology seek to provide new solutions for difficult healthcare problems and impact the future of the quality of life. Biomedical Engineering and Cognitive Neuroscience for Healthcare: Interdisciplinary Applications brings together researchers and practitioners, including medical doctors and health professionals, to provide an overview of the studies of cognitive neuroscience and biomedical engineering for healthcare. This book aims to be a reference for researchers in the related field aiming to bring benefits to their own research.
Major neurocognitive disorders are one of the leading causes of disability and dependency among the elderly worldwide. Notably, their far-reaching impact extends beyond the estimated 50 million people currently living with a major neurocognitive disorder. As the conversion to Alzheimer's disease (AD) progresses, patients’ symptoms (e.g., memory loss, severe impairments in thinking and behavior) place a heavy toll on their caregivers, family, and friends, who face emotional frustration, coupled with great financial stress. Furthermore, in terms of global cost estimation, the World Health Organization predicted that by 2030, the treatment of patients with AD and other forms of acquired cognitive impairment will cost the healthcare system US$1.7 trillion (or US$2.8 trillion, if corrected for the increase in care costs).
"This book provides a comprehensive collection for experts in the Neuroscience and Biomedical technology fields, outlining various concepts from cognitive neuroscience and dementia to neural technology and rehabilitation"--Provided by publisher.
The neurorehabilitation field is increasingly focused on understanding how to efficiently revert the effects that acute (i.e., stroke or traumatic brain injury) or chronic (i.e., neurodegenerative diseases) insults play either on small or large-scale networks, encompassing motor, sensory and cognitive domains. The link between the disrupted neuronal pulse generators and their effectors is being re-shaped through a wide scenario that embraces biorobotics, robot-aided rehabilitation, non-invasive neurostimulation, nanoprosthetics and neuroengineering. For the past decade and at an amazing speed, large investments and efforts allowed enthusiastic and only apparently heterogeneous researchers to...
Recent research on Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, etc. and Neuropsychiatric disorders such as Schizophrenia, has shown strong evidence that altered brain tissue structure, physiology, and connectivity reflect the extent of severity of behavioral and physical abnormalities. With the advancement of high field strength MR technologies like MRS (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy), fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging), it has become possible to non-invasively measure these changes brain microenvironment in terms of levels of antioxidants; neurotransmitters; regional activity, susceptibility and connectivity du...
This book presents an overview of the recent advances in clinical applications of magnetoencephalography (MEG). With the expansion of MEG to neuroscience, its clinical applications have also been actively pursued. Featuring contributions from prominent experts in the fields, the book focuses on the current status of the application of MEG, not only to each nervous system but also to various diseases such as epilepsy, neurological disorders, and psychiatric disorders, while also examining the feasibility of using MEG for these diseases. Clinical Applications of Magnetoencephalography offers an indispensable resource for neurologists, neurosurgeons, pediatricians, and psychiatrists, as well as researchers in the field of neuroscience.
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, central obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are common disorders that afflict the majority of individuals who live in westernized societies. Moreover, all these common medical disorders occur with increasing incidence as the population ages. Previous meetings on this subject have provided remarkable advances in diabetes research and patient care. prospective research which will contribute to promoting not only the proper management of diabetes mellitus and prevention of its complications, but also effective control of the frequently occurring cardiovascular risk factors in diabetic patients.
