| Summary |
"Magnetic Stimulation of the Human Nervous System provides comprehensive coverage of the technique and clinical applications of magnetic brain stimulation. Beginning with an account of the invention of the technique, it considers the technical aspects of how magnetic stimulators work, including anatomy and physiology of cortical motor areas, and looks at the effects of magnetic brain stimulation in healthy subjects, covering the visual and motor systems, and the effects of repetitive transcranial stimulation. The text goes on to discuss the practical aspects of the technique's use in a clinical setting including specific clinical applications in patients with demyelinating diseases, motoneuron diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, degenerative neurological diseases, movement disorders, and spinal cord and peripheral nerve diseases |
|
Finally, it deals with the use of brain stimulation in neurosurgical monitoring and considers potential developments of the technique in investigating neural plasticity and in the treatment of psychiatric conditions."--BOOK JACKET |
