Brain Disorders (Gray Matter)
Chelsea House Publications | 2005 | ISBN: 0791085139 | 100 pages | PDF | 12 MB
Part of the Chelsea House ‘Grey Matter’ series that also include volumes on specific areas of the brain as well as meditation and hypnosis, addiction, sleep and dreams, Brain Disorders begins with a chapter on Alzheimer’s disease. The book includes the first description of the symptoms by Alois Alzheimer, the anatomy and physiology associated with the disorder, and current understandings of Alzheimer’s. Other chapters on Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, multiple sclerosis, stroke, migraine, and brain tumors follow a similar pattern.The concluding chapter describes disorders with newfound interest such as the prion diseases, Tourette’s syndrome, and autism. The volumes in this series are written by neuroscientists and provide in-depth explanations suitable for teachers or highly motivated students. But there is also enough story and personal information to be useful to the more casual reader. This combination of authorship by professionals in the field, depth of explanation, and popular interest vignettes produce superior candidates for any library serving youth.
