内容説明

This volume is a cross-disciplinary reference on the behavioural, neurobiological and clinical aspects of eye movements. It includes a large body of new empirical work as well as the principal theoretical viewpoints of leading research groups in this field. Topics discussed in the book include the role of cortical and subcortical brain areas in control of saccadic eye movements, attentional mechanisms in guiding smooth pursuit eye movements, neural mechanisms related to eye-hand coordination, oculomotor deficits in psychiatric disorders, neural mechanisms related to hand-eye coordination and oculomotor deficits in psychiatric disorders, Parkinson's disease and head injury patients. this book addresses a wide audience and will be particularily of interest to researchers in neurophysiology and neuropsychology of vision.

目次

  • Saccadic Eye Movements
  • Change Blindness and Transsaccadic Integration
  • Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements
  • Eye-Hand Coordination
  • Clinical Aspects of Eye Movement Research.

内容説明

Nitric oxide, "Molecule of the Year" in 1995, continues to be one of the most widely studied molecules in brain research. This excellent volume elucidates the implications of this gas in a variety of brain processes.The volume is divided into five sections, describing: the mechanisms underlying the release and action of Nitric Oxide in the CNS, and the distribution of Nitric Oxide in the brain using various techniques; how Nitric Oxide interacts with and regulates the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor; the role of Nitric Oxide in pathway refinement and synapse stabilization in the developing CNS; the role of Nitric Oxide in adult brain plasticity including long-term potentiation and depression; and the role of Nitric Oxide in brain injury such as occurs during ischemia and other events produced by glutamate neurotoxicity, and in neuroprotective mechanisms that promote neuron survival.Nitric Oxide in Brain Development, Plasticity, and Disease is the first Progress in Brain Research volume to be published in abstracted form on the World Wide Web. It includes title pages, abstracts, selected figures, and complete references. It also includes a digital brain atlas for readers to view a mouse brain in a three-dimensional full-color rendition, and much more.
