Brain Stimulation (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The field of brain stimulation is expanding rapidly, with techniques such as DBS, TMS, and tDCS moving from the research community into clinical diagnosis and treatment. Clinical applications include treating disorders such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and even depression.

The chapters of Brain Stimulation are written by leading international researchers and clinical specialists include coverage of techniques, modes of action and applications in physiology and therapeutics. The combination of research and clinical coverage will be of interest to neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and health care workers.

• A comprehensive introduction and overview of deep brain stimulation (DBS)
• Coverage of DBS, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
• Details the basic science and research utility of DBS and clinical application

Rezensionen

"This outstanding and comprehensive new book covers the rapidly growing use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as well as superficial brain stimulation (SBS) for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.This is a first-rate book covering the emerging treatment technology of DBS and SBS. Any clinician who wants to keep abreast of these important treatment modalities should read this book. I highly recommend it." Rating: 3 Stars --Doody.com, March 21, 2014

"This volume is focused on brain stimulation, considering both deep and superficial versions. Among the topics are postoperative management of deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease, evaluating the potential of deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant anorexia nervosa, treating depression with superficial brain stimulation methods, noninvasive brain stimulation in neuro-rehabilitation." --ProtoView.com, January 2014
