_Neuronal Networks in Brain Function, CNS Disorders, and
Therapeutics,_ edited by two leaders in the field, offers a current
and complete review of what we know about neural networks. How the
brain accomplishes many of its more complex tasks can only be
understood via study of neuronal network control and network
interactions. Large networks can undergo major functional changes,
resulting in substantially different brain function and affecting
everything from learning to the potential for epilepsy.
With chapters authored by experts in each topic, this book advances
the understanding of:
* How the brain carries out important tasks via networks
* How these networks interact in normal brain function
* Major mechanisms that control network function
* The interaction of the normal networks to produce more complex
behaviors
* How brain disorders can result from abnormal interactions
* How therapy of disorders can be advanced through this network
approach
This book will benefit neuroscience researchers and graduate students
with an interest in networks, as well as clinicians in neuroscience,
pharmacology, and psychiatry dealing with neurobiological disorders.
* Utilizes perspectives and tools from various neuroscience
subdisciplines (cellular, systems, physiologic), making the volume
broadly relevant
* Chapters explore normal network function and control mechanisms,
with an eye to improving therapies for brain disorders
* Reflects predominant disciplinary shift from an anatomical to a
functional perspective of the brain
* Edited work with chapters authored by leaders in the field around
the globe – the broadest, most expert coverage available
