| Discipline: | Nervous Sys | | Subject Definition: | Arousal-Physiology; Reticular Formation | | NLM Class: | WL 103 | | LC Class: | QP405 | | Abstract: | Arousal in Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases aims to focus attention on the dysregulation of arousal, which is found in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. Chapters describe the physiology of each process, how it is disturbed in each disorder, and what the most appropriate treatment(s) should be.The book also imparts the understanding of the RAS as a system not only modulating waking, but also in charge of survival mechanisms such as fight vs flight responses and reflexes.The full spectrum of these functions helps explain the complexity of symptoms evident in such disorders as disparate as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. The reader will develop an understanding of this homeostatic mechanism that has synergistic action with other such mechanisms as appetite. This is the first book to discuss the function of the RAS with respect to higher functions, motor control, and the intertwining of arousal and motor disorders.This book will help neuroscientists, sleep researchers, neurologists and psychiatrists understand the basic mechanisms that modulate arousal in health and disease, and also promote the knowledge that therapies that address arousal dysregulation can alter the severity and manifestation of multiple disorders. Provides a comprehensive overview of the basic mechanisms behind dysregulation of arousal in neurological and psychiatric disordersDescribes in detail the function of the Reticular Activating System with respect to motor disordersCover multiple neurological disorders including epilepsy, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's disease and autism |
