As a division of the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at ChapeI Hili, TEACCH has always been involved in the latest biological research on autism and related developmental disabilities. However, until now there has not been sufficient information to justify aseparate volume on this most important topic. Recent advances both in our under standing of the brain and in the technology to facilitate the measurement of neurological functioning have stimulated significant growth, which is reflected in this volume. As with the preceding books in this series, Current Issues in Autism, this volume is based on one of the annual TEACCH conferences held in ChapeI Hili each May. The books are not simply published proceedings of the conference papers, however. lnstead, conference participants are asked to develop chapters around their presentations, and other international experts whose work is beyond the scope of the conference, but related to the major theme, are asked to contribute as weil. These volumes are intended to provide the most current knowledge and professional practice available to us concerning major issues in autism.
Neurotransmission and Hearing Loss is the second book in the Kresge-Mirmelstein award series which emanates from a scientific symposium held annually to honor a scientist who has had a major impact on modern hearing research. In 1995, Dr. Robert Wenthold was chosen for his essential research in the biochemistry of synaptic transmission, the main theme of this scholarly work. The book covers both the basic science of neurotransmission and hearing loss and its clinical application, including Receptors in the Auditory Pathway, Transmitters in the Cochlea, Afferent Regulation of Cochlear Nucleus Neurons, Auditory Deprivation, and Genetic Disorders of the Auditory System. In the clinical segment, cochlear implants as a management tool for deafness are covered as well as audiological findings in autoimmune diseases, and with medical treatments for sensorineural loss and tinnitus. With contributions from the international and leading experts in the field, this book is an essential update on the literature in the field.
