A comprehensive review of current endovascular techniques for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms, this is a practical manual for those practicing, or intending to practice, this rapidly expanding branch of minimally invasive...

There is no question that the topic of this meeting in Seeheim, Germany, on intracranial and intralabyrinthine fluids is pertinent. This was the first international meeting at which these two closely-related topics were...

There is now considerable genetic evidence that the type 4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene is a major susceptibility factor associated with late­ onset Alzheimer's disease, the common form of the disease defined as starting...

Biological effects of magnetic fields have been studied in many animals and plants. The magnetic fields were of a wide intensity range and, as alternating fields, of a wide frequency range and of a variety of impulse shapes...

Warum wieder Schleudertrauma? Es gibt eine sehr groBe Anzahl von Publi­ kationen (allein zwischen 1980 und 1994 haben Spitzer et al. 10036 VerOf­ fentlichungen geziihlt), so daB ein wei teres Buch einer Rechtfertigung be­ darf...

Invertebrate animals represent a diversity of solutions to life's challenges. Success in a wide range of environments has been achieved by an almost bewildering range of invertebrate body forms. These body forms are reflected...

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) AIDS Program is the fourth largest acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) program within the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Since 1983, our program's contributions have...

Many extrapyramidal motor diseases result from underlying neurodegenerative processes, which however are very advanced at the time the clinical diagnosis is made. From animal experiments it seems likely that we may soon have...

On April 1, 1992, Otto Creutzfeldt would have celebrated his 65th birthday. About a year before, those of us who worked with him in the Department of Neurobiology decided to organize a meeting to honour Otto and his contri­...

In the rapidly developing area of neuroimmunology, primary at­ tention has been given thus far to the bidirectional exchange of information between the immune system and the neuroendocrine system. Several recent texts on this...

The research field of somatosensory processing in mammals has experienced revolutionary changes in recent years. Accumulation of basic and clinical data has greatly accelerated, and new phenomena have emerged. With the aid of...

Over the past 10-20 years there has been an explosion of work on the disturbance of motor control that is manifested as "spasticity." This work has been based on new insights from animal experiments into the basis of normal...

Die traumatischen Schäden von Gehirn und Rückenmark werden in den drei aufeinanderfolgenden Bänden (Band 13/VI A bis C der Speziellen Pathologischen Anatomie) umfassend behandelt. Was auch dieses Werk auszeichnet,sind u.a. drei...

The brain stem and cerebellum are structures that have fascinated and puzzled physicians, anatomists, and physio­ logists for centuries. Relatively small in volume compared to the much larger and more majestic human cerebrum,...

During the past two decades the progress in neuroendocrine research, stimulated by the increasing general interest in neurosciences, has been very impressive. Most of these efforts have concentrated on peuroendocrine nerve...

This monograph summarizes the results of the authors' own in­ vestigations as well as relevant literature data about the mechanism of synaptic transmission in sensory hair cells of the acousticolater­ al system. It deals mainly...

The pioneering work by Pierre Janny and Nils Lundberg added a new tool to the investigative armamentarium of the neurosurgeon: continuous monitor­ ing of intracranial pressure (ICP). A small group of basic and clinical sci­...

1.1 Mechanism of Action of Glucocorticoid Hormones The current model of glucocorticoid hormone action is summarized in Fig. 1. After synthesis, glucocorticoids are secreted into the blood stream and trans­ ported to target...

Shigellosis is present all over the world. Anyone traveling in developing countries knows that the control of this invasive disease of the intestine is a priority task for physicians and public health authorities. Victims are...

Die traumatischen Schäden des Rückenmarks und seiner Hüllen werden in diesem Beitrag systematisch abgehandelt. Die Darstellung beginnt mit der allgemeinen Neuropathologie der traumatischen Gewebeschäden des Rückenmarks und...

during the past few years increasing interest has been focused on the role of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) outside the central nervous systems (CNS).Biochemical, pharmacological, histochemical, physiological approaches have...

The positive versus negative distinction of schizophrenic disorders has pro­ moted ongoing research. Phenomenology, psychopathology, biology, genet­ ics, pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatment, psychosocial and...

In the last decade there has been a growing interest in the study of the interactions between the heart and the brain, especially in the field of cerebral ischemia. The interactions between cardiovascular and cerebrovascular...

It is a great honor and pleasure for me to introduce this book; an honor, because of the scientific renown and authority of the investigators who have edited the volume and contributed the chapters; a pleasure, because my own...

Being both broad - perception and motor organization - and narrow - just onegroup of animals - at the same time, this book presents a new unified framework for understanding perceptuomotor organization, stressing the ...

Latest issue in the CURRENT TOPICS IN NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY se- ries which has been gaining a great deal of reputation as a primary source for reviews in neuroendocrinology and related areas in the past few years.

A host of environmental factors regulate the embryonic development of neurons. In adults, the survival of neurons, the regeneration of damaged axons, and plastic changes in axonal arborization are also controlled by a complex...

The spinal cord has a characteristic structure and functions that are distinct from those of the brain. Its functions are tremendously important since it modulates the peripheral sensory inputs to the dorsal horn, and it gives...
