Hippocampal Microcircuits: A Computational Modeler's Resource Book (Springer Series in Computational Neuroscience #5)
by Vassilis Cutsuridis Bruce P. Graham Stuart Cobb Imre VidaThis is the 2nd edition of a very well received and popular book that reflects the current state-of-the-art of the ongoing research avenues concerning the hippocampus and processing units bridging the gap between single cell activity, network activity and global brain function. It aims to provide a methodology to anyone interested in developing microcircuit level models of the hippocampus. <P><P> The book is divided into two thematic areas: (I) Experimental background and (II) Computational analysis. In part I, leading experimental neuroscientists discuss the morphological, physiological and molecular characteristics as well as the connectivity and synaptic properties of the various cell types found in the hippocampus. Behaviour-related ensemble activity patterns of morphologically identified neurons in anesthetized and freely moving animals provide insights on the function of the hippocampal areas. In part II, computational neuroscientists present models of the hippocampal microcircuits at various levels of detail (e.g. single cell level, network level, etc.). Synaptomics and connectomics models of hippocampal structures are initially discussed. Then, network models of memory, rhythm generation and spatial navigation are presented, followed by abstract and biophysical models of synaptic plasticity. Network models of hippocampal implicated disorders (epilepsy and schizophrenia) are then detailed and how their network topologies, connectivities and activities change in these diseases. Finally, two chapters are dedicated to describing simulator environments of single neurons and networks currently used by computational neuroscientists in developing their models and modelling tools to parametrically constrain them. <P><P> This engaging volume is invaluable to experimental and computational neuroscientists, electrical engineers, physicists, mathematicians and others interested in developing microcircuit models of the hippocampus. Graduate level students and trainees in all of these fields can find this book a significant source of information.
Hippocrates' Shadow
by David H NewmanEveryone knows of the Hippocratic Oath, the famous invocation sworn by all neophyte physicians. But most don't realize that the father of modern medicine was an avid listener and a constant bedside presence. Hippocrates believed in the doctor-patient connection and gained worldwide renown for championing science over mysticism while respecting and advocating the potency of human healing. Today, argues Dr. David H. Newman, medicine focuses narrowly on the rewards of technology and science, exaggerating their benefits and ignoring or minimizing their perils. Dr. Newman sees a disconnect between doctor and patient, a disregard for the healing power of the bond, and, ultimately, a disconnect between doctors and their Oath. The root of this divergence, writes Dr. Newman, lies in the patterns of secrecy and habit that characterize the "House of Medicine," modern medicine's entrenched and carefully protected subculture. In reflexive, often unconscious defense of this subculture, doctors and patients guard medical authority, cling to tradition, and yield to demands that they do something or prescribe something. The result is a biomedical culture that routinely engages in unnecessary and inefficient practices, and leaves both patient and doctor dissatisfied. While demonstrating an abiding respect for, and a deep understanding of, the import of modern science, Dr. Newman reviews research that refutes common and accepted medical wisdom. He cites studies that show how mammograms may cause more harm than good; why antibiotics for sore throats are virtually always unnecessary and therefore dangerous; how cough syrup is rarely more effective than a sugar pill; the power and paradox of the placebo effect; how statistics and studies themselves are frequently deceptive; and why CPR is violent, invasive -- and almost always futile. Through an engaging, deeply researched, and eloquent narrative laced with rich and riveting case studies, Newman cuts to the heart of what really works -- and doesn't -- in medicine and rebuilds the bridge between physicians and their patients.
Hippocratic Oath or Hypocrisy?: Doctors at Crossroads
by Anita Sikand BakshiMedicine was until recently a greatly respected profession supported by trust and faith on one side and compassion and care on the other. However, over the years, the relationship between doctors and patients has suffered. Doctors now find themselves in the news for all the wrong reasons. Labelled as ‘murderers’, ‘knife happy’, ‘organ stealing thieves’ or touts of pharmaceutical giants, they have now lost respect in the eyes of society. When and how did this happen? When did doctors go from being ‘Next to God’ to maut ke saudagar, as the media is so fond of labelling them? Hippocratic Oath or Hypocrisy?: Doctors at Crossroads is the author’s journey as a doctor over three decades, from a young medical student to an experienced paediatrician. She has used her experience to highlight serious issues—demanding patients, prescribing of unnecessary investigations, hospitals run like business houses, the role of big pharmaceutical industries and so on from the point of view of both doctors and patients. The author’s anecdotal style, which includes quotes from her many case studies, will keep the reader turning the pages eagerly till the end.
Hippocratic Writings
by HippocratesThis work is a sampling of the Hippocratic Corpus, a collection of ancient Greek medical works. At the beginning, and interspersed throughout, there are discussions on the philosophy of being a physician. There is a large section about how to treat limb fractures, and the section called The Nature of Man describes the physiological theories of the time. The book ends with a discussion of embryology and a brief anatomical description of the heart.

Hirndoping & Co.: Die optimierte Gesellschaft
by Andreas G. FrankeLeistungssteigerung per Pille oder kurz „Hirndoping“ ist zu einem regelrechten Trend geworden, der innerhalb weniger Jahre besorgniserregende Ausmaße angenommen hat. Doch wie kommt das?Das Buch beleuchtet das brisante Thema „Hirndoping" erstmals aus zahlreichen Blickwinkeln wie Soziologie, Medizin, Sport- und Rechtswissenschaften und vielen weiteren Disziplinen.Es zeichnet den Weg von der Agrargesellschaft, in der die Geschwindigkeit des Lebens von den natürlichen Gegebenheiten abhing, bis in die heutige Zeit nach. Eine Zeit, in der es durch Globalisierung und Digitalisierung vermeintlich keine Grenzen mehr gibt. Die letzte Grenze, die es zu überwinden gilt, scheint unser Geist. „Hirndoping“ bietet sich hier als Antwort aus den Regalen der Arzneimittelindustrie an. Eine Antwort, die aber nur begrenzt funktioniert und die gesundheitlich, juristisch und ethisch nicht frei von Risiken und Nebenwirkungen ist. Alternativlos ist „Hirndoping“ jedenfalls nicht.
Hirnpotentiale: Die neuronalen Grundlagen von Bewusstsein und freiem Willen
by Heiko J. LuhmannDer Neurophysiologe Heiko Luhmann erforscht seit mehr als 35 Jahren die Funktionsweise von Nervenzellen und neuronalen Netzen. In diesem spannenden und provozierenden Buch informiert er Sie über die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Hirnforschung und wie diese unsere Vorstellungen über das Bewusstsein und den freien Willen verändern. Sie erfahren, dass die Trennung von Körper und Geist aus neurowissenschaftlicher Sicht nicht aufrechterhalten werden kann und wie unterschiedliche Wissenschaftsdisziplinen ein neues Konzept zur Funktionsweise unseres Gehirns entwickeln. Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit spannenden grundlegenden Fragen, wie:Warum gibt es überhaupt Gehirne? Wie kommt die Welt in den Kopf? Wie sind interne neuronale Karten aufgebaut? Wo ist das Bewusstsein lokalisiert und wie entsteht es? Hat der Oktopus ein Bewusstsein? Ist das Gehirn eine Prädiktionsmaschine? Erlaubt das Konzept der prädiktiven Kodierung einen freien Willen? Entwickeln wir mit Hilfe eines Hirn-Computer-Interfaces ein höheres Bewusstein? Sind wir technologisch in der Lage Gedanken zu lesen und zu erzeugen? Verfügen Roboter eines Tages über ein künstliches Bewusstsein?
Hirntod – sind ‚Hirntote‘ wirklich tot? (#philosophieorientiert)
by Héctor WittwerDas Buch bietet den ersten deutschsprachigen Überblick über die Hirntoddebatte. Dabei geht es um die Frage, ob Patienten, bei denen der vollständige und unumkehrbare Ausfall der Hirnfunktionen diagnostiziert wurde, tot oder lebendig sind. Nicht nur in Deutschland gilt der Hirntod heute als medizinisches und rechtliches Kriterium für den Eintritt des menschlichen Todes. Die Frage nach der Richtigkeit des Hirntodkriteriums ist nicht nur von theoretischem Interesse. Vielmehr kommt ihr deshalb eine besondere praktische Relevanz zu, im Kontext der Organtransplantation fast überall die sog. Totspenderregel gilt, d.h., Organe für die Transplantation dürfen (mit wenigen Ausnahmen) nur Toten entnommen werden. Allerdings mehren sich seit den 2000er Jahren Zweifel an der Richtigkeit dieses Kriteriums. Empirische Befunde zeigen, dass bei den sog. Hirntoten zahlreiche Lebensfunktionen intakt sind, obwohl diese nicht mehr vom Gehirn gesteuert werden. ‚Hirntote‘ können z.B. wachsen, die Geschlechtsreife erreichen oder ein Kind austragen. Diese Feststellung lässt vermuten, dass das Gehirn für die Aufrechterhaltung der Vitalfunktionen nicht so wichtig ist, wie die Verfechter des Hirntodkriteriums annehmen. Man kann weiterhin fragen, ob typische Merkmale von ‚Hirntoten‘ mit dem allgemein anerkannten Verständnis des Begriffs ‚Tod‘ vereinbar sind. Damit man ihnen Organe für die Transplantation entnehmen kann, müssen Hirntote beispielsweise künstlich ernährt werden. Kann man ohne Widerspruch behaupten, dass ein Organismus einerseits tot ist und dass er andererseits Nahrung benötigt, künstlich ernährt wird und einen Stoffwechsel mit seiner Umwelt vollzieht? Der Autor stellt alle geläufigen Argumente für und gegen die Angemessenheit des Hirntodkriteriums dar und prüft diese kritisch. Er vertritt die These, dass die Auffassung, hirntote Patienten seien tot, unhaltbar ist.
Hiroshima Diary
by Michihiko HachiyaThe late Dr. Michihiko Hachiya was director of the Hiroshima Communications Hospital when the world's first atomic bomb was dropped on the city. Though his responsibilities in the appalling chaos of a devastated city were awesome, he found time to record the story daily, with compassion and tenderness. His compelling diary was originally published by the UNC Press in 1955, with the help of Dr. Warner Wells of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who was a surgical consultant to the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission and who became a friend of Dr. Hachiya. In a new foreword, John Dower reflects on the enduring importance of the diary fifty years after the bombing.
