This note covers the following topics:
Meninge, Ventricles, Subarchnoid space and CSF, head injury, cells of the
nervous system, neural development, Ascending Somatosensory pathways, descending
motor pathways, autonomic nervous system, cerebellum, basal ganglia and related
disorders, spinal cord and spinal injury, brainstem and cranial nerves, the
Frontal lobes, The Parietal lobes, the temporal lobes: language areas of the

This
book, Spinal Cord Injury examines the future directions for research with the
goal to accelerate the development of cures for spinal cord injuries. While many
of the recommendations are framed within the context of the specific needs
articulated by the New York Spinal Cord Injury Research Board, the Institute of
Medicine’s panel of experts looked very broadly at research priorities relating
to future directions for the field in general and make recommendations to
strengthen and coordinate the existing infrastructure. Funders at federal and
state agencies, academic organizations, pharmaceutical and device companies, and
non-profit organizations will all find this book to be an essential resource as
they examine their opportunities.

Recent medical advances have
improved the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of paraneoplastic
syndromes. These disorders arise from tumor secretion of hormones, peptides, or
cytokines or from immune cross-reactivity between malignant and normal tissues.
Paraneoplastic syndromes may affect diverse organ systems, most notably the
endocrine, neurologic, dermatologic, rheumatologic, and hematologic systems.
