Cochlear Implants: Auditory Prostheses and Electric Hearing
Author: Fan-Gang ZengPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387225854
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Cochlear implants have instigated a popular but controversial revolution in the treatment of deafness. This book discusses the physiological bases of using artificial devices to electrically stimulate the brain to interpret sounds. As the first successful device to restore neural function, the cochlear implant serves as a model for research in neuroscience and biomedical engineering. These and other auditory prostheses are discussed in the context of historical treatments, engineering, psychophysics and clinical issues as well as implications for speech, behavior, cognition and long-term effects on people.

Book Description
Einige tausend Menschen sind weltweit an einer Leitungsunterbrechung des Hörnerven im Hirnstamm erkrankt. Dies führt in vielen Fällen zum Verlust des Hörens, d.h. zur Taubheit. Inzwischen ist es möglich, im Rahmen einer Gehirnoperation alltagsrelevante Teile des Hörvermögens wieder herzustellen. Dies geschieht durch Elektroden, die im Mittelhirn eingesetzt werden und die mit einem implantierten Mikroprozessor verbunden sind. Im vorliegenden Buch werden hierzu einige grundsätzliche Überlegungen, Laborstudien, sowie erstmalig klinische Ergebnisse dargestellt. Diese mikroskopische Implantation im akkustischen Teil des Gehirns ist das erfolgreichste Beispiel der neuroprothetischen Wiederherstellung eines zerstörten Sinnesorganes. Die vorgestellte Studie wurde im Rahmen einer Habilitationsarbeit angefertigt. Förderung erfolgte (2001) durch Mittel der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), der Max-Kade Stiftung, sowie durch ein Reisestipendium der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO).

Biological Function of Gangliosides
Author: Nobel SymposiumPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444816585
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 429
Book Description
This book focuses on the role of gangliosides in three areas of medicine in which rapid progress has been made in the last decade: cancer, peripheral neuropathies and Alzheimer's disease. The volume further reflects progress in the pathogenesis of peripheral neuropathies, and the controversial role of gangliosides, also in therapeutic administration. There is a section on the role of gangliosides in neuronal differentiation and development and their receptor functions and cell surface activities. This excellent addition to the renowned Progress in Brain Research series also contains an invaluable plenary lecture on molecular basis of cell adhesion by Nobel prizewinner Gerald Edelman.
Neuroscience: From the Molecular to the Cognitive

Pages : 283
Book Description
This hundredth volume is a commemorative milestone in the prestigeous Progress in Brain Research series. Accordingly, authors were invited to write on any topic, given that their choice represented the topic most near and dear to their own efforts over a significant period of the recent past, and to which they would likely continue to be devoted in the future. In that sense, this volume does not represent a scientific meeting, but rather an overview sample of problems and methodologies that epitomize brain research broadly at this special moment in the maturation of the field. The chapters comprising this volume assort themselves readily into five or six established categories of topics: developmental brain research, molecular brain research, integrative brain research, neuroplasticity, and neuro-psychiatric conditions. This volume reports through a sample of recognized leaders in the neuroscientific community at a significant instant in the history and evolution of the field.
