Download or read book Foundations of Sensation and Perception written by George Mather and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations of Sensation and Perception offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the science of sensation and perception. It covers all the human senses and answers many questions, such as why movies are so convincing, how ventriloquism works, why things sound different as you get older and why you may feel ill in an aircraft or sea vessel. Full of illustrations and graphs that bring concepts to life, the textbook covers vision, hearing, balance, touch, pain, smell and taste. It discusses each sensory system through its fundamental neuroscience, major perceptual qualities and underlying coding principles. Each chapter includes reflective questions, key terms and information boxes and chapter summaries. Each chapter ends with a tutorial section which introduces more advanced areas of study in an accessible way (including measurement of light and Fourier analysis) as well as topics outside of the mainstream of sensation (including music perception, colour deficiencies and phantom limbs). The fourth edition of this bestselling textbook includes an extensive update of the text to reflect the latest research, a greater focus on balance and the body senses and a major reorganisation of the chapters for ease of use. It will be an invaluable resource for a wide range of undergraduate students in psychology, neuroscience and related disciplines.

Download or read book The Neural Bases of Multisensory Processes written by Micah M. Murray and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging and neuroscience methods, The Neural Bases of Multisensory Processes details current understanding in the neural bases for these phenomena as studied across species, stages of development, and clinical statuses. Organized thematically into nine sub-sections, the book is a collection of contributions by leading scientists in the field. Chapters build generally from basic to applied, allowing readers to ascertain how fundamental science informs the clinical and applied sciences. Topics discussed include: Anatomy, essential for understanding the neural substrates of multisensory processing Neurophysiological bases and how multisensory stimuli can dramatically change the encoding processes for sensory information Combinatorial principles and modeling, focusing on efforts to gain a better mechanistic handle on multisensory operations and their network dynamics Development and plasticity Clinical manifestations and how perception and action are affected by altered sensory experience Attention and spatial representations The last sections of the book focus on naturalistic multisensory processes in three separate contexts: motion signals, multisensory contributions to the perception and generation of communication signals, and how the perception of flavor is generated. The text provides a solid introduction for newcomers and a strong overview of the current state of the field for experts.

Download or read book Diabetes written by Yongsoo Park and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetic neuropathy is a serious complication in 60–70% of diabetic patients involving both type 2 and type 1. Several signaling pathways have been assumed to contribute to its development, including increased activation of the polyol pathway, oxidative stress, advanced glycation end product (AGE) formation, nerve hypoxia/ischemia, activation of protein kinase C and reduction of nerve growth factors. As a central integrating mechanism, overproduction of reactive oxygen species in peripheral nerves leads to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuronal damage and finally apoptosis. Oxidative stress results in an increase in substrate for AGEs and in precursors of glycoxidation and lipoxidation products, and accelerates the free radical formation that may be accompanied by or caused by a deficiency of antioxidant and detoxification pathways. Oxidative stress is accompanied by the activation of the NF-κB, and then mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in Schwann cells as well as in neurons, which will lead to the activation of various inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, antioxidant treatment may improve neuronal repair in patients with diabetic neuropathy. However, the true mechanisms by which increased oxidative stress affects downstream signaling mechanisms, and how this results in the development of diabetic neuropathy have not yet been thoroughly studied. Neither is it known whether antioxidant supplementation could help the damaged neurons to regenerate, and thus enable patients with diabetic neuropathy to overcome this devastating, life-threatening situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfortunately, we human beings do not come with a ready-made Owners Manual to guide us through our individual life journeys. So, we are left with the task of finding or creating one of our own. This book is the result of the authors own personal search for just such a set of guidelines. He offers it to you, the reader, as a possible starting point for your own personal search. Owners Manual (Homo Sapiens) is a step-by-step guide designed to help the serious traveler on the journey of life to identify his or her life goals, to create a plan for achieving them, and to begin putting those plans into effect. It is written in plain, every-day language and is broken down into bite-sized, easy to digest chapters. The book is divided into a number of segments. It begins with The Basics, which suggests an overall life goal of personal happiness and provides a review of the underlying principles of human development. Next comes three segments that help the reader to begin to find the answers to three important questions: Who am I? which uses a brief quiz game to identify the readers personality type ; What do I want? which uses a short, fill-in-the-blanks worksheet to clarify values; and, How can I get it? which provides a detailed blueprint to aid personal development.

Book excerpt: Diabetes: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants bridges the trans-disciplinary divide among diabetologists, endocrinologists, and nutritionists in understanding and treating diabetes. The book covers, in a single volume, the science of oxidative stress in diabetes and the potentially therapeutic use of natural antioxidants in the diet or food matrix. The processes within the science of oxidative stress are described in concert with other processes such as apoptosis, cell signaling, receptor-mediated responses and more. This approach recognizes that diseases are usually multifactorial and that oxidative stress is a single component of this.Pharmacological treatments for diabetes are commonly marked by unwanted side effects, leading to treatment efforts using naturally occurring substances. But a plant-based approach alone is not sufficient; understanding the processes inherent in the oxidative stress of diabetes is vital for clinical workers, dietitians, and nutritionists.This translational work provides that understanding. The book begins by covering the basic biology of oxidative stress from molecular biology to imaging in relation to diabetes. There are chapters on neuropathy, nephropathy, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, and retinopathy. The book then moves on to antioxidants in foods, including plants, components of the diet, and their relevance to diabetes. Nutritionists will use the information related to mitochondrial oxidative stress in one disease and propose new diet-related strategies to prevent such conditions arising in another unrelated disease Dietitians will prescribe new foods or diets containing antioxidants for conditions that are refractory by conventional pharmacological treatments Dietitians, after learning about the basic biology of oxidative stress, will be able to suggest new treatments to their multidisciplinary teams Nutritionists and dietitians will learn about cell signaling and will be able to suggest preventive or therapeutic strategies with antioxidant-rich foods to reduce damage done by diseases involving abnormal cell signaling

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuroscience has made phenomenal advances over the past 50 years and the pace of discovery continues to accelerate. On June 25, 2008, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted more than 70 of the leading neuroscientists in the world, for a workshop titled "From Molecules to Minds: Challenges for the 21st Century." The objective of the workshop was to explore a set of common goals or "Grand Challenges" posed by participants that could inspire and rally both the scientific community and the public to consider the possibilities for neuroscience in the 21st century. The progress of the past in combination with new tools and techniques, such as neuroimaging and molecular biology, has positioned neuroscience on the cusp of even greater transformational progress in our understanding of the brain and how its inner workings result in mental activity. This workshop summary highlights the important issues and challenges facing the field of neuroscience as presented to those in attendance at the workshop, as well as the subsequent discussion that resulted. As a result, three overarching Grand Challenges emerged: How does the brain work and produce mental activity? How does physical activity in the brain give rise to thought, emotion, and behavior? How does the interplay of biology and experience shape our brains and make us who we are today? How do we keep our brains healthy? How do we protect, restore, or enhance the functioning of our brains as we age?
