31. Neurobiology of Depression

    Edited by Francisco Lopez-Munoz, Cecilio Alamo

    Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

    Major depressive disorders have recently been associated with impairments in signaling pathways that regulate neuroplasticity and cell survival. Agents designed to directly target molecules in these pathways hold promise as new therapeutics for depression. With the collaboration of the most...

33. Behavioural Economics and Business Ethics

    Interrelations and Applications

    By Philip Alexander Rajko

    Series: Routledge Advances in Behavioural Economics and Finance

    Economics and moral philosophy have in recent years been considered to be distinct and separate fields. However, behavioural economics has started to reconcile various aspects of morality and economics, which has offered new conceptual opportunities to advance economics ethics and business ethics....

34. Epilepsy

    The Intersection of Neurosciences, Biology, Mathematics, Engineering, and Physics

    Edited by Ivan Osorio, Hitten P. Zaveri, Mark G. Frei, Susan Arthurs

    Epilepsy, one of the most prevalent neurological disorders, affects approximately 1% (greater than 60 million) of the world's population. In an estimated 20 million of these patients, seizures are not controlled even by multiple anti-seizure drugs, and are extremely difficult to predict. Epilepsy:...

35. TRP Channels

    Edited by Michael X. Zhu

    Series: Methods in Signal Transduction Series

    The rapid expansion of the TRP field has generated a large amount of excellent original work across many different research fields. However, investigators are not necessarily familiar with the pros and cons of the variety of methods used to study TRP channels. Because of functional and genetic...

39. Computer Vision

    From Surfaces to 3D Objects

    Edited by Christopher W. Tyler

    The typical computational approach to object understanding derives shape information from the 2D outline of the objects. For complex object structures, however, such a planar approach cannot determine object shape; the structural edges have to be encoded in terms of their full 3D spatial...

40. Microfabricated Cortical Neuroprostheses

    Edited by André Mercanzini, Philippe Renaud

    The use of neural implants for stimulation and recording show excellent promise in restoring certain functions to the central nervous system; and neuroprostheses remains one of the most important tools of neuroscientists for the elucidation of the brain's function. Ailments such as Parkinson's...
