Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often disabling disease of the
nervous system, affecting about 1 million people worldwide. Even though it has
been known for over a hundred years, no cause or cure has yet been
discovered—but now there is hope. New therapies have been shown to slow the
disease progress in some patients, and the pace of discoveries about the
cellular machinery of the brain and spinal cord has accelerated.
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.

This note describes the following topics: neurology introduction, Neuro
anatomy, Behavioural neurology, Neurophysiology, Neurogenetics origin,
Development and research, Neuro pathology introduction, Methodology and
progress.
This
note will introduce students to the major systems of the brain, which underlie
these abilities – focusing on sensory, motor and memory systems. It will start
with classical "textbook" concepts and methods in the field of Systems
Neuroscience, but will then emphasize contemporary approaches, concepts and
debates.
This book focuses on
the Traumatic brain injury pathobiology as well as on the recent developments in
advanced diagnostics and acute management. The presented topics encompass
personal experience and visions of the chapter contributors as well as an
extensive analysis of the TBI literature. The book is addressed to a broad
audience of readers from students to practicing clinicians.
