    • Inglés
    Nutritional Neuroscience: From Bench to Bedside navigates the complex connections between nutrition and neurological health, from neurodevelopmental disorders influenced by early-life malnutrition to the neuroprotective effects of functional foods. Each chapter offers a detailed examination of the latest research in the field, spanning the mechanisms of taste and food processing in the brain, the impact of dietary interventions on inflammation and blood–brain barrier function, and the link between metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. This book sits at the forefront of nutritional neuroscience, where cutting-edge research meets practical application, and equips its readers with a holistic understanding of how nutrition influences brain health at all ages. Bridging the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical practice, this book offers a roadmap for future research and interventions in the f ield of nutritional neuroscience.

  • Appetite Interrupted

    The Role of Predators in Shaping the Behavioral Ecology and Physiology of Satiety
    • 1 Edición
    • James A. Carr
    • Inglés
    Appetite Interrupted: The Role of Predators in Shaping the Behavioral Ecology and Physiology of Satiety examines the mechanisms that suppress feeding in vertebrate animals within the physiological and ecological contexts that drove their evolution. It emphasizes the role of predation as a selective pressure, noting that the adaptive significance of these inhibitory mechanisms may help identify novel neuroendocrine pathways in future research. Written by a leading expert in the field, this book systematically explores behavioral ecology, evolutionary pressures, physiological processes, and stressors that impact foraging and feeding behaviors in vertebrates. Early chapters address why animals stop eating, reviewing the selective pressures that drive the evolution of both slow and rapid mechanisms for suppressing hunger and appetite. Central chapters delve into the physiological controls that have evolved to inhibit feeding, including the immense impacts of stress, anxiety, and fear on food intake. The book concludes with an examination of these pathways in humans and the evolution of obesity. While Appetite Interrupted comparatively approaches the mechanisms controlling food intake, predation, and hunger from an ecological perspective, its coverage of disordered satiety translates to practical and clinical applications of human nutrition. It is therefore an indispensable resource for students, researchers, and industry professionals across broad animal science and healthcare fields.

  • Handbook of Endocannabinoid Function in the Central Nervous System

    • 1 Edición
    • Volumen 33
    • Olivier J. Manzoni + 1 más
    • Inglés
    Handbook of Endocannabinoid Function in the Central Nervous System, a new release in the Handbook of Behavioral Neuroscience series, offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to understanding the role of the endocannabinoid system in functions of the central nervous system. This new volume brings together the most influential and internally recognized experts in the field to provide a detailed overview of the physiological and pathophysiological roles of endocannabinoids in CNS activity. It covers the history, functional anatomy, and neurophysiology of the endocannabinoid system, moving on to assess endocannabinoid roles across human lifespans, and in behavioral control.Final sections of the book explore the use of endocannabinoids in psychiatric and neurological disorders. This is a vital resource for neuroscientists, neuropharmacologists... and neuropathologists, as well as any researcher seeking detailed discussions of brain endocannabinoid functions.

  • The Scientific Basis of Fatigue

    • 1 Edición
    • Colin R. Martin + 3 más
    • Inglés
    Fatigue is a prevalent problem and adequate treatment is challenging because many conditions, disorders, medications, and lifestyle factors can cause fatigue. The Scientific Basis of Fatigue combines evidence-based research and clinical treatment protocols to provide a comprehensive reference to fatigue. This book is divided into seven distinct sections, starting with an introduction section defining the distinctions between physical and mental fatigue. The second and third sections detail the various conditions in both physical and mental fatigue including COVID, Parkinson disease, and depression. The next section reviews the current research on molecular and cellular aspects and models of fatigue. The final two sections review options for diagnosis and treatments for fatigue and provides a detailed resource section for further review.

    • Inglés
    Brain and Crime, Volume 197 reviews the relation between brain function and aggressive and rule-breaking (criminal) behavior. The book's focus is on the violation of social rules and not on violation of regulations that are different in different counties. It discusses the development of this behavior from childhood into adulthood, along with the mechanisms associated with the risk for aggression and rule-breaking behavior. In addition, it explores from a behavioral level concepts like psychopathology, syndrome and concepts from law, such as crime, defendant and offender. Finally, sections explore brain function, including emotion, cognitive processes, and decision-making. From the perspective of brain structure, the book covers brain networks and brain disorders. In genetics, the book includes the influence of genes and the mechanisms of epigenetics. All chapters are intended to provide information for use in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, and in assessment and prevention.
