1. Spike Timing

   Mechanisms and Function

   Edited by Patricia M. DiLorenzo, Jonathan D. Victor

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   Neuronal communication forms the basis for all behavior, from the smallest movement to our grandest thought processes. Among the many mechanisms that support these functions, spike timing is among the most powerful and—until recently—perhaps the least studied. In the last two decades, however, the...

2. Transcranial Brain Stimulation

   Edited by Carlo Miniussi, Walter Paulus, Paolo M. Rossini

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   Since the discovery of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), these non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques have been used to investigate the state of cortical excitability, and the excitability of the cortico-cortical and corticospinal...

3. The Neurobiological Basis of Suicide

   Edited by Yogesh Dwivedi

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   With recent studies using genetic, epigenetic, and other molecular and neurochemical approaches, a new era has begun in understanding pathophysiology of suicide. Emerging evidence suggests that neurobiological factors are not only critical in providing potential risk factors but also provide a...

4. Alzheimer's Disease

   Targets for New Clinical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies

   Edited by Renee D. Wegrzyn, Alan S. Rudolph

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   In recent years, a tremendous amount of effort has been focused on better understanding the fundamentals of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis and appropriately targeted therapeutic treatments. Alzheimer’s Disease: Targets for New Clinical, Diagnostic, and...

5. Dopamine – Glutamate Interactions in the Basal Ganglia

   Edited by Susan Jones

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   The basal ganglia are involved in complex brain functions, from voluntary movement control to learning and reward processing, and they are implicated in numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders. Information from the cerebral cortex and thalamus is conveyed to basal ganglia nuclei via...

6. Astrocytes

   Wiring the Brain

   Edited by Eliana Scemes, David C. Spray

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   Astrocytes play diverse roles in central nervous system (CNS) function and dysfunction, and the connections that the astrocyte makes with other cells of the brain are essential for a variety of important neural tasks. Bringing together contributions from international experts at the top of their...

7. 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...

8. The Neural Bases of Multisensory Processes

   Edited by Micah M. Murray, Mark T. Wallace

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging and neuroscience methods, The Neural Bases of Multisensory Processes details current understanding in the neural bases for...

9. Neurobiology of Sensation and Reward

   Edited by Jay A. Gottfried

   Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

   Synthesizing coverage of sensation and reward into a comprehensive systems overview, Neurobiology of Sensation and Reward presents a cutting-edge and multidisciplinary approach to the interplay of sensory and reward processing in the brain. While over the past 70 years these areas have drifted...

10. Neurobiology of Huntington’s Disease

    Applications to Drug Discovery

    Edited by Donald C. Lo, Robert E. Hughes

    Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

    In 1993, the genetic mutation responsible for Huntington’s disease (HD) was identified. Considered a milestone in human genomics, this discovery has led to nearly two decades of remarkable progress that has greatly increased our knowledge of HD, and documented an unexpectedly large and diverse...
