Featuring a unique approach, Nicotinic Receptors in the Nervous System provides integrated coverage of research on neuronal nicotinic systems relevant to smoking addiction and cognitive dysfunction. By bringing together molecular and neurochemical applications, the book provides the key to understanding function and dysfunction of nicotinic systems and how they are significant for disease, addiction, and the development of novel drug treatments. The book presents readers with the basic mechanistic background for these treatments as well as the functional assessment necessary to determine therapeutic effects. Catalog no. 2386, ISBN: 978-0-8493-2386-7 2002, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 312 pp. Suggested Price: $149.95 / £86.00

Organized chronologically, from neonate through adolescence, this unique work serves as a quick reference guide, offering insight into the various age-related pediatric epilepsy syndromes. A compilation of extensive case studies by more than 35 renowned physicians, it covers the various aspects of pediatric epilepsy, offers in-depth discussions into the disease’s pathophysiology, and explores current treatment strategies. An extensive resource section saves time by providing an authoritative guide to the most relevant findings scattered in the literature. Certain to become a classic, this is an essential resource for all pediatricians, as well as researchers and clinicians involved with epilepsy. Catalog no. 83422, ISBN: 978-1-4200-8342-2 January 2009, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 296 pp. Suggested Price: $79.95 / £44.99

A new optimism that Parkinson’s disease can be defeated is energizing the research community. Halting the progression of the disease, restoring function, and even prevention are all realistic goals. This comprehensive volume provides state-of-the-art information on all aspects of Parkinson’s disease, including epidemiology, genetics, diagnosis, treatment, and social issues. Novel and attractive models are included to simplify difficult-to-understand concepts. With a focus on therapeutics and written by leaders in the field, Parkinson’s Disease emphasizes both the importance of early diagnosis and the search for more effective therapies.
Bringing together the knowledge of world experts on different aspects of primate auditory function, this book narrows the epistemological gap between primate ethologists and auditory neurobiologists. Leading ethologists, comparative psychologists, and neuroscientists who have developed new experimental approaches apply their methods to a variety of issues dealing with primate vocal behavior and the neurobiology of the primate auditory system. The synthesis of ethological and neurobiological approaches to primate vocal behavior presented in this book will yield a rich understanding of the acoustic and neural bases of primate audition and shed light on the evolutionary precursors to speech.
