Discovering the Brain by National Academy of Sciences,Institute of Medicine,Sandra Ackerman Pdf

The brain ... There is no other part of the human anatomy that is so intriguing. How does it develop and function and why does it sometimes, tragically, degenerate? The answers are complex. In Discovering the Brain, science writer Sandra Ackerman cuts through the complexity to bring this vital topic to the public. The 1990s were declared the "Decade of the Brain" by former President Bush, and the neuroscience community responded with a host of new investigations and conferences. Discovering the Brain is based on the Institute of Medicine conference, Decade of the Brain: Frontiers in Neuroscience and Brain Research. Discovering the Brain is a "field guide" to the brainâ€"an easy-to-read discussion of the brain's physical structure and where functions such as language and music appreciation lie. Ackerman examines: How electrical and chemical signals are conveyed in the brain. The mechanisms by which we see, hear, think, and pay attentionâ€"and how a "gut feeling" actually originates in the brain. Learning and memory retention, including parallels to computer memory and what they might tell us about our own mental capacity. Development of the brain throughout the life span, with a look at the aging brain. Ackerman provides an enlightening chapter on the connection between the brain's physical condition and various mental disorders and notes what progress can realistically be made toward the prevention and treatment of stroke and other ailments. Finally, she explores the potential for major advances during the "Decade of the Brain," with a look at medical imaging techniquesâ€"what various technologies can and cannot tell usâ€"and how the public and private sectors can contribute to continued advances in neuroscience. This highly readable volume will provide the public and policymakersâ€"and many scientists as wellâ€"with a helpful guide to understanding the many discoveries that are sure to be announced throughout the "Decade of the Brain."

The Human Brain and Spinal Cord by Lennart Heimer Pdf

This book was written to serve both as a guide for the dissection of the human brain and as an illustrated compendium of the functional anatomy of the brain and spinal cord. In this sense, the book represents an updated and expanded version of the book The Human Brain and Spinal Cord written by the author and published in Swedish by Scandinavian University Books in 1961. The complicated anatomy of the brain can often be more easily appreciated and understood in relation to its development. Some insight about the coverings of the brain will also make the brain dissections more meaningful. Introductory chapters on these subjects constitute Part I of the book. Part 2 is composed of the dissection guide, in which text and illustrations are juxtaposed as much as possible in order to facilitate the use of the book in the dissection room. The method of dissection is similar to dissection proce dures used in many medical schools throughout the world, and variations of the technique have been published by several authors including Ivar Broman in the "Manniskohjarnan" (The Human Brain) published by Gleerups F6rlag, Lund, 1926, and Laszlo Komaromy in "Dissection of the Brain," published by Akademiai Kiado, Budapest, 1947. The great popularity of the CT scanner justifies an extra laboratory session for the comparison of nearly horizontal brain sections with matching CT scans.

Anatomy of the Brain and Spinal Cord (Classic Reprint) by J. Ryland Whitaker Pdf

Excerpt from Anatomy of the Brain and Spinal Cord This little book, first written whilst I was a student, still, as formerly, pretends to no originality. Its one aim is and always has been to present, in as clear and simple a manner as possible, an outline of the Central Nervous System to the student, who, for the first time, is brought face to face with this most intricate subject, and to furnish him, to the best of my ability, with those facts which he will find most useful in his future work, and which, let us trust, he will not have soon to unlearn. Although, owing to a sad bereavement, the book was out of print for nearly ten years, it has now reached a fifth edition. 'this, at my age, will, in all probability, be the last as far as I am concerned. In it my one endeav our has been to keep the book as small as before. Any increase in length, apart from the inevitable addition of new matter, being chiefly due to the rewriting and extending of previous descriptions, with the object of rendering obscure passages easier to understand. New tables and recapitulations have also been given to serve for quick and easy reference. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Brain and Spinal Cord in 3D by Jack Becker,Chris Hayhurst Pdf

Everyone knows that the brain is responsible for our smarts and the spinal cord holds us up, but students may be surprised to learn how much more these powerhouses are responsible for. Together they control the nervous system. Without them, we would not be able to think, remember, digest nutrients, breathe, blink, swallow, and so much more. Featuring clear and arresting 3D illustrations, this volume takes readers through the brain and spinal cord, covering their parts and functions, and serves as a comprehensive introduction to the human body.

Anatomy of the Brain and Spinal Cord by Harris E. Santee Pdf

Excerpt from Anatomy of the Brain and Spinal Cord: With Special Reference to Mechanism and Function, for Students and Practitioners The recent advances in human anatomy and its allied sciences necessitate the thorough revision this work has received. To place it fairly abreast of the times every section has been largely rewritten in accordance with the discoveries of. the past few years. Being designed for a textbook, the subject-matter is presented in the order found convenient to the dissector. The description proceeds from the gross structures to the constituent neurones in each successive region. Wherever the embryology will assist the student to comprehend the adult forms, the development is briefly given. The embryology is more fully interwoven with the regular text than in the fourth edition; and, because of this, the special embryologic chapter is omitted. All other chapters are elaborated and illustrated by a number of new histologic and diagrammatic drawings; they are, therefore, somewhat enlarged, but the author has kept them within reasonable bounds. Some excellent illustrations also have been introduced from the fifth edition of Morriss "Anatomy." The special objects held in view throughout the book are the location of functional centers and the tracing of their afferent, associative and efferent connections. Particular emphasis is laid upon the origin, course, termination and function of conduction paths as they are met in the regular study, and the more important and better known of these paths are summed up in a final chapter on the tracing of impulses. Function is everywhere correlated with structure; and so far as present knowledge permits, the function of each group of neurones is given in connection with its anatomical description. The Bna Nomenclature is followed almost without exception, the English equivalents of the Latin terms being very largely employed. Reason and experience both show the fundamental value of the Basle Nomenclature of Anatomy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
