unctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and Electronecephalography (EEG) are very important and complementary modalities since fMRI offers high spatial resolution and EEG is a direct measurement of neuronal activity with high temporal resolution. Interest in the integration of both types of data is growing rapidly as it promises to provide important new insights into human brain activity as it has already done so in the field of epilepsy. The availability of good quality instrumentation capable of providing interference-free data in both modalities means that electrophysiological and haemodynamic characteristics of individual brain events can be captured for the first time. Consequently, it seems certain that the integration of fMRI and EEG will play an increasing role in neuroscience and of the clinical study of brain disorders such as epilepsy.

Teaching - You First Aid Skills






Wherever we are, and whatever we do, accidents and emergencies are a part of our lives. Would you know what to do if you were first on the scene? By knowing how to make essential first aid decisions, you can make sure that you are prepared to act in an emergency. Using simulations of real-life events where your choices and decisions affect the outcome, Teaching-you First Aid Skills helps you to acquire those skills, which we all need to learn, but for which we have never found the time.

Part of the Chelsea House 'Grey Matter' series that also include volumes on specific areas of the brain as well as meditation and hypnosis, addiction, sleep and dreams, Brain Disorders begins with a chapter on Alzheimer's disease. The book includes the first description of the symptoms by Alois Alzheimer, the anatomy and physiology associated with the disorder, and current understandings of Alzheimer's. Other chapters on Parkinson's, Huntington's, multiple sclerosis, stroke, migraine, and brain tumors follow a similar pattern.
