Product Description
Considered the largest breakthrough in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in the past 40 years, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a pioneering procedure of neurology and functional neurosurgery, forging enormous change and growth within the field. The first comprehensive text devoted to this surgical therapy, this source expertly examines all aspects of DBS from history and theory to patient evaluation, recovery, and rehabilitation. Edited by specialists in the top-tiers of the discipline, including contributors from the pioneering Movement Disorder Group at the University of Pennsylvania, this text will be an indispensable companion for the entire neurological and neurosurgical community.An essential tool that lucidly covers all the essential elements of this revolutionary surgical technique, this guide:serves as an invaluable resource and teaching guide for patient evaluation and the selection of candidates for surgeryoffers lucid descriptions of the surgical technique for STN DBS placement, reviewing both frame- and frameless-based approachesconsiders the morbidity and mortality associated with the procedure and details strategies for complication avoidancediscusses pre- and post-operative management protocols, from the intensive care unit to rehabilitative settingspresents a systematic approach to programming STN with a series of real-world case examplesbroaches the difficult topic of medication adjustment in the post-DBS patient for enhanced patient recovery, including illustrative case examplesreviews the effect of STN DBS surgery on speech, balance, autonomic function, sleep, and weightconsiders ethical and quality-of-life issues for DBS patients |

Review on Deep Brain Stimulation Book by Professor Dr Jafri (Neurosciences,Kota Bharu, KELANTAN Malaysia)  4 Stars
August 22, 2008
This book is well written.It serves as an add-on to the anatomophysiological knowledge of deep brain stimulation for movement disorders.I highly recommend that all libraries have this book as a reference book in addition to the standard functional references that exists.This book has been added to the Neurosciences armenmentarium of relevant books to read for the Masters of Neurosurgery(University Sains Malaysia)

| Microelectrode Recording in Movement Disorder Surgery
by Zvi Israel (Editor), Kim Burchiel (Editor)
As movement disorder surgery advances and becomes more commonplace, the need for accurate physiological localizing data- optimally achieved through extracellular microelectrode recording- is more critical than ever. However, this complex technique carries a high learning curve and most neurosurgeons have little training in the field. Here is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of the art of microelectrode recording in movement disorders surgery, offering a solid understanding...

| Electric Fields of the Brain: The Neurophysics of EEG
by Paul L. Nunez (Author), Ramesh Srinivasan (Author)
Electroencephalography (EEG) is practiced by neurologists, cognitive neuroscientists, and others interested in functional brain imaging. Whether for clinical or experimental purposes, all studies share a common purpose-to relate scalp potentials to the underlying neurophysiology. Electrical potentials on the scalp exhibit spatial and temporal patterns that depend on the nature and location of the sources and the way that currents and fields spread through tissue. Because these dynamic patterns...
