The Neurophysics of Human Behavior by Mark E. Furman




Description

Publisher: CRC Press; 1 edition (June 22, 2000) | ISBN: 0849313082 | Pages: 376 | PDF | 5.41 MB

How do brain, mind, matter, and energy interact? Can we create a comprehensive model of the mind and brain, their interactions, and their influences? Synthesizing research from neuroscience, physics, biology, systems science, information science, psychology, and the cognitive sciences, The Neurophysics of Human Behavior advances a unified theory of brain, mind, behavior and information.

This groundbreaking work helps you more deeply understand, more accurately predict, and more effectively change human behavior - a significant contribution to the fields of psychology, education, medicine, communications, and human relations.Cognitive neurophysics, as detailed in this work, presents an integrated perspective of brain, mind, behavior, thoughts, and nature. The distinguished authors emphasize the need to view psychological science - and our image of the "self" - in the context of the physical world: matter, energy, and natural laws. NeuroPrint is the powerful application model of this perspective. This comprehensive, detailed algorithm defines the network of interactions that develop brain, mind, behavior, thoughts, and emotions and redefines the meaning of psychotherapeutic intervention. The Neurophysics of Human Behavior gives the background, tools, and methods for intervention and modeling. It outlines the systematic, behavioral approach of NeuroPrint, promising to promote a deep understanding of the process of human change. Using The Neurophysics of Human Behavior, practitioners and researchers can plot and gauge the paths of change in neurocognitive dynamics and the improvements in mental health.

Innate Immune Regulation and Cancer Immunotherapy




Description

Published: 2011-12-01 | ISBN: 1441999132 | PDF | 488 pages | 7.47 MB

Innate and adaptive immunity play important roles in immunosurveillance and tumor destruction. However, increasing evidence suggests that tumor-infiltrating immune cells may have a dual function: inhibiting or promoting tumor growth and progression. Although regulatory T (Treg) cells induce immune tolerance by suppressing host immune responses against self- or non self-antigens, thus playing critical roles in preventing autoimmune diseases, they might inhibit antitumor immunity and promote tumor growth. Recent studies demonstrate that elevated proportions of Treg cells are present in various types of cancers and suppress antitumor immunity. Furthermore, tumor-specific Treg cells can inhibit immune responses only when they are exposed to antigens presented by tumor cells. Therefore, Treg cell at tumor sites have detrimental effects on immunotherapy directed to cancer.

Chronic Pain in Small Animal Medicine




Description

Published: 2010-04-12 | ISBN: 1840761245 | PDF | 160 pages | 71.34 MB

Chronic pain is unlike acute pain, it lasts beyond the time necessary for healing and resists normal treatment. The primary indicator of chronic pain is not how long it persists, but whether it remains long after it should have disappeared. No one patient feels pain in the same way and yet in veterinary medicine the patient pain is generally assessed based on a single standard. There is increasing focus in veterinary medicine on measuring and resolving pain and suffering.

Brain Monitoring in the Neonate, An Issue of Clinics in Perinatology by Alan R. Spitzer




Description

Publisher: Saunders; 1 edition (September 27, 2006) | ISBN: 1416038981 | Pages: 240 | PDF | 4.82 MB

The cardinal indicator of a satisfactory outcome for neonatal intensive care is normal neurological development, yet until very recently, clinical monitoring of brain function was limited to the physical examination. Recently, though, a number of new techniques have been developed to assist clinicians who wish to know more about the neurological status of their fragile patients.

This issue explores various techniques of brain monitoring including continuous EEG, near-infrared spectroscopy, and biochemical markers, as well as articles intended to help clinicians respond appropriately to abnormalities and changes discovered during monitoring. Â This issue should appeal to physicians, nurses, therapists, and other members of the neonatal intensive care team.
