ISBN: 9780471492030 / Angielski / Twarda / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although normally thought of as a sex hormone, recent research has highlighted the numerous and significant effects that oestrogen has on the CNS, extending far beyond its important reproductive role. It has been shown that oestrogen acts as a neural growth factor with important influences on the survival, plasticity, regeneration and ageing of the mammalian brain.
This exciting book brings together leading clinicians and researchers to discuss oestrogen's basic mechanisms of action, the extrahypothalmic brain regions it affects, and its influence on cognitive functions in...

Cue exposure has become a routine clinical procedure in the treatment of phobic and obsessive-compulsive disorders, and shows promise in the addictions field. However, there is a danger that new approaches become adopted into routine practice in an uncritical fashion. This book, therefore, brings together a series of invited reviews...

Cognitive Decline: Strategies for Prevention
ISBN: 9780521026703 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Book Description Cognitive Decline - Strategies for Prevention examines the problems associated with our understanding of the ageing brain, whether or not such decline is inevitable and if there are practical steps which can be taken to prevent or minimize cognitive decline in late life. Current preventive medical strategies have primarily targeted the top three causes of death in the developed world: heart disease, cancer and stroke. Less attention to date has been paid to cognitive decline and dementia, possibly because the generally held view has been that little or nothing could be done...
