D.F. Swaab Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Der international renommierte Hirnforscher Dick Swaab beschreibt in seinem ebenso informativen wie zugänglichen Grundlagenbuch zur Hirnforschung, wie die Entwicklung unseres Gehirns durch unsere Umwelt beeinflusst wird. Unser Leben ist komplex: Wir arbeiten, treiben Sport, befassen uns mit Kunst und Musik, sind Teil eines großen sozialen Gefüges. Wie wir leben und was wir tun, aber auch was wir erleiden, das alles prägt unser Gehirn. Und die Art, wie sich unser Gehirn entwickelt, hat wiederum Einfluss auf unser Verhalten und unsere Entscheidungen. War Dick Swaabs letztes Buch „Wir sind unser Gehirn“ ein Blick in unser Inneres, richtet der bekannte niederländische Hirnforscher nun den Fokus auf die Wechselwirkung zwischen der Welt und unserem Gehirn und erklärt in diesem Grundlagenbuch zur Hirnforschung, wie unsere jeweilige Umgebung sowie ihre spezifischen Reize die Entwicklung unseres Gehirns bestimmen. Und er zeigt auch, wie unsere Umgebung zur Erkrankung – aber auch zur Gesundung unseres Gehirns beitragen kann.

In short, engaging chapters that combine fascinating and often bizarre case studies and historical examples, Swaab explains what is going on in our brains at every stage of life, from the womb to the radical changes that take place during adolescence to what happens when we fall in love or get Alzheimer's.

Traditionally viewed as part of the neuroendocrine system, the human hypothalamus has garnered little interest from neurologists. This volume revitalizes the topic by presenting groundbreaking research that connects this complex brain region to various neurological and psychological disorders. Clinicians, researchers, and practitioners across multiple medical fields will find a comprehensive overview of new findings related to the origin, diagnosis, and treatment of these disorders. The discussions link the hypothalamus to attention deficits in dementias, as well as its involvement in conditions like narcolepsy and certain epilepsies, making this resource invaluable for research and patient care. It includes specific information on depression, eating disorders, aggression, and mental retardation, providing professionals in neurology, psychiatry, endocrinology, and pediatrics with a deeper understanding of how the hypothalamus relates to patient disorders. This volume offers a thorough account of innovative research, insights into the hypothalamus's role in various disorders, and a clearer perspective on its impact on research and treatment protocols in diverse fields.

This volume provides a comprehensive understanding of the human hypothalamus, an extremely complex structure that consists of a large number of very different functional units. It approaches the subject in a way that has not historically existed in standard neuropathological investigations of the human brain.As the hypothalamus was traditionally considered to be a neuroendocrine structure, and hence of little interest to neurologists, this volume explores new findings in the field and the value they bring to the field of neurology.New understandings of the role the hypothalamus plays in memory and attention deficits in the dementias, along with greater evidence that the hypothalamus is related to symptoms and signs in both neurological and psychological disorders provide users in the fields of neuroscience, endocrinology, pediatrics, and psychology with a comprehensive resource on which to base new research and exploration. * A new understanding of the role of the human hypothalamus in neurological disorders * Clinical evidence regarding a plethora of neurological disorders and how they relate to the human hypothalamus* A greater understanding of the direct connection between both neurological and psychological disorders and the role of the hypothalamus in these disorders
