Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often disabling disease of the
nervous system, affecting about 1 million people worldwide. Even though it has
been known for over a hundred years, no cause or cure has yet been
discovered—but now there is hope. New therapies have been shown to slow the
disease progress in some patients, and the pace of discoveries about the
cellular machinery of the brain and spinal cord has accelerated.
This
book, Spinal Cord Injury examines the future directions for research with the
goal to accelerate the development of cures for spinal cord injuries. While many
of the recommendations are framed within the context of the specific needs
articulated by the New York Spinal Cord Injury Research Board, the Institute of
Medicine’s panel of experts looked very broadly at research priorities relating
to future directions for the field in general and make recommendations to
strengthen and coordinate the existing infrastructure. Funders at federal and
state agencies, academic organizations, pharmaceutical and device companies, and
non-profit organizations will all find this book to be an essential resource as
they examine their opportunities.

This
note will introduce students to the major systems of the brain, which underlie
these abilities – focusing on sensory, motor and memory systems. It will start
with classical "textbook" concepts and methods in the field of Systems
Neuroscience, but will then emphasize contemporary approaches, concepts and
debates.
This PDF
covers the following topics related to Neurology : Introduction, Components of
the 5-minute Neurological Examination, Order of the 5-minute Neurological
Examination, Neurologic Diagnosis, the Neurologic History, Mental Status Test,
Skull, Spine and Meninges, Cranial Nerves, the Motor Examination, the Sensory
System, Coordination, Reflexes, Gait and Station.
This is a
list of major and frequently observed neurological disorders, symptoms, signs
and syndromes. There is disagreement over the definitions and criteria used to
delineate various disorders and whether some of these conditions should be
classified as mental disorders or in other ways.
The object of
this book is to set forth in practical form, on the basis of the Case System,
certain fundamental facts regarding the symptomatology, diagnosis, treatment and pathological findings in the more
frequent disorders of the nervous system.
This note covers the following topics:
Meninge, Ventricles, Subarchnoid space and CSF, head injury, cells of the
nervous system, neural development, Ascending Somatosensory pathways, descending
motor pathways, autonomic nervous system, cerebellum, basal ganglia and related
disorders, spinal cord and spinal injury, brainstem and cranial nerves, the
Frontal lobes, The Parietal lobes, the temporal lobes: language areas of the
cortex, the memory system and dementia: CNS blood supply and stroke.
