Book Description
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."
Nervous System

ISBN: 1604534079
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Through engaging, easy-to-read text, young readers learn that the human body's nervous system is like a supercomputer that coordinates all of the body's actions and reactions. Both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, as well as their parts are discussed. Readers discover that the brain and the spinal cord make up the central nervous system and that the spinal cord connects the brain to the peripheral nervous system, which contains all the nerves in the body. The book explains that the nervous system makes the heart beat, keeps us breathing, and allows us to see and read. The brain's various parts, the cerebrum, the cerebellum, the brain stem, the hippocampus, the pituitary gland, and the hypothalamus, are also discussed, as well as the functions of these various parts, including control of our voluntary and involuntary muscles, control of our memory, sending growth hormones throughout the body, and regulating the body's temperature. A detailed diagram of a labeled neuron is included. Kid-friendly text and a graphic explanation describe how pain messages throughout the body. Senses, reflexes, and diseases that cause the nervous system to function improperly, such as multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, are also discussed. Common brain and spinal cord injuries and the ways to avoid these injuries are also highlighted. Readers also learn about the nutrients necessary to keep the nervous system working properly. These include glucose, fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Full-color photos, detailed diagrams, medical models, phonetics, glossary, and index enhance the text.

Atlas of Imaging Anatomy
Author: Lucio OlivettiPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 331910750X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
This book is designed to meet the needs of radiologists and radiographers by clearly depicting the anatomy that is generally visible on imaging studies. It presents the normal appearances on the most frequently used imaging techniques, including conventional radiology, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Similarly, all relevant body regions are covered: brain, spine, head and neck, chest, mediastinum and heart, abdomen, gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary tract, pancreas, urinary tract, and musculoskeletal system. The text accompanying the images describes the normal anatomy in a straightforward way and provides the medical information required in order to understand why we see what we see on diagnostic images. Helpful correlative anatomic illustrations in color have been created by a team of medical illustrators to further facilitate understanding.
