Pathophysiology of Headaches by Messoud Ashina,Pierangelo Geppetti Pdf

This book provides a detailed overview of the current state of knowledge regarding the pathophysiology of both primary headaches – migraine, tension-type headache (TTH), and cluster headache – and the very important and frequent type of secondary headache, medication overuse headache (MOH). After an introductory chapter describing relevant neuroanatomy and vascular anatomy, the evidence gained from animal models regarding the pathophysiology of migraine and the other primary headaches is reviewed. Knowledge of the genetic component in the different types of headache is then examined with reference to recent evidence, for example regarding the implication of the trigeminovascular system and cortical spreading depression in migraine. Detailed information is provided on insights into primary headaches from imaging studies, including functional magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography and on their neurophysiology and biochemistry. A further series of important chapters describe present knowledge of the pathophysiology of each specific type of headache and consider future directions. Written by acknowledged experts in their fields from Europe and the United States, clinicians and students will find Pathophysiology of Headaches to be an excellent source of up-to-date information on why patients experience headaches. In addition, it will be of value for pain researchers investigating the underlying mechanisms of headache.

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."

Evolving Creativity by Anand Rishi Pdf

For far too long we have believed that science and religion are diametrically opposite lines of enquiries. We have always believed that science investigates the truth about the outer world and religion investigates our inner world. However the reality is one; the outer and the inner are nothing but utilitarian divisions. In the end they describe the same reality from different perspectives.To accept and aid this reality, humanity has to alter its perception about how it views Science and Religion. Time has come for us to nurture people who have the hearts of a Mystic and the Minds of the Scientist; these are the people who can reveal the entire mystery of this Universe to us.These are the people I would like to call as the spiritual scientists.Swethketu, the main character, is a spiritual scientist, who not only endeavors to know himself but he also endeavors to know how this gigantic, ever expanding Universe functions. In the end he finds out that both his quests leads him to a common reality. The entire Universe is an organic whole; it is a living entity and we are the very soul of this living Universe. The story of our Universe is about continuous ‘Evolving Creativity’ and I hope that like Swethketu we will all learn to fall in tune with it

The Hungry Brain by Stephan J. Guyenet, Ph.D. Pdf

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year From an obesity and neuroscience researcher with a knack for engaging, humorous storytelling, The Hungry Brain uses cutting-edge science to answer the questions: why do we overeat, and what can we do about it? No one wants to overeat. And certainly no one wants to overeat for years, become overweight, and end up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease--yet two thirds of Americans do precisely that. Even though we know better, we often eat too much. Why does our behavior betray our own intentions to be lean and healthy? The problem, argues obesity and neuroscience researcher Stephan J. Guyenet, is not necessarily a lack of willpower or an incorrect understanding of what to eat. Rather, our appetites and food choices are led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits that play by the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. And these circuits don’t care about how you look in a bathing suit next summer. To make the case, The Hungry Brain takes readers on an eye-opening journey through cutting-edge neuroscience that has never before been available to a general audience. The Hungry Brain delivers profound insights into why the brain undermines our weight goals and transforms these insights into practical guidelines for eating well and staying slim. Along the way, it explores how the human brain works, revealing how this mysterious organ makes us who we are.

My New Normal: Surviving My Miscarriages by Lorraine Frederick Pdf

As a result of experiencing four miscarriages in sixteen months, Lorraine faced the most challenging time of her life. When she searched for a resource to relate to during her times of isolation, she was left feeling more detached because nothing spoke to her postpartum depressive state or overwhelming feelings of hopelessness. This propelled her to begin writing for not only personal therapy, but ultimately to share her story with others who may be experiencing something similar. My New Normal: Surviving My Miscarriages details her transformative journey of self-discovery that chronicles the small peaks and deep valleys of miscarriage that are often only known to the ones who have experienced it. It is a very honest look and sometimes real-time documentation of the raw emotions and life-questioning moments experienced when you lose an unborn child. It's also the examination of the stigma surrounding miscarriage and the new normal of silent suffering that many women face.
