Body, space and pain

There is growing interest in understanding how the perception of pain (and touch) is influenced by the way we represent our body and the space surrounding it. Recent views argue that pain can only be understood in a larger framework of body perception and action. This attention is driven by accumulating research in experimental and clinical domains, indicating that pain perception depends large…

Body, Capital, and Screens:

This book began life with the inaugural conference of the international research project 'The healthy self as body capital: Individuals, market-based societies, body politics and visual media in the twentieth century Europe', held in Strasbourg from 23 to 25 February 2017. The editors would like to thank all participants for their stimulating input during this outstanding event. The presen…

Biosignal processing and computational methods to enhance sensory motor neuro…

Though there have been many developments in sensory/motor prosthetics, they have not yet reached the level of standard and worldwide use like pacemakers and cochlear implants. One challenging issue in motor prosthetics is the large variety of patient situations, which depending on the type of neurological disorder. To improve neuroprosthetic performance beyond the current limited use of such sy…

Biogenic Amines and Neuromodulation of Animal Behavior, 2nd Edition

Since Erspamer and Boretti, 1951 first described the biogenic amine octopamine in the octopus salivary gland as a molecule with “adrenaline-like” action, decades of extensive studies demonstrated the important role octopamine and its precursor tyramine play in invertebrate physiology and behavior. This book contains the latest original research papers on tyramine/octopamine and their recept…

Amyloid-beta clearance in Alzheimer's disease

Strong evidence continues to accumulate indicating that amyloid-beta (Aß) is a central part of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis in spite of the negative evidence coming from failed clinical trials. Therefore, mechanisms of clearance of Aß are of great interest in understanding AD pathogenesis and the development of effective treatments. This topic focuses on the issues related to AÅ

An Infectious Origin of Alzheimer's Disease: An End for This Devastating Diso…

This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researcher…

Alzheimer's Disease and the Fornix

This e-book focuses primarily on the role of the fornix as a functional, prognostic, and diagnostic marker of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the application of such a marker in clinical practice. Researchers have long been focused on the cortical pathology of AD, since the most important pathologic features are the senile plaques found in the cortex, and the neurofibrillary tangles and neuronal …

Artificial Neural Networks for IoT-Enabled Smart Applications

In the age of neural networks and the Internet of Things (IoT), the search for new neural network architectures capable of operating on devices with limited computing power and small memory size is becoming an urgent agenda. This reprint focuses on recent developments in the organization of artificial intelligence (AI) on edge devices for various IoT-enabled smart applications and starts with t…

All-Optical Methods to Study Neuronal Function

This open access volume provides an overview of the latest methods used to study neuronal function with all-optical experimental approaches, where light is used for both stimulation and monitoring of neuronal activity. The chapters in this book cover topics over a broad range, from fundamental background information in both physiology and optics in the context of all-optical neurophysiology exp…
