Imaging the Addicted Brain, the latest volume in the International Review of Neurobiology series will appeal to neuroscientists, clinicians, psychologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists.

Led by an internationally renowned editorial board, this important serial publishes both eclectic volumes made up of timely reviews and thematic volumes that focus on recent progress in a specific area of neurobiology research.

This volume focusses on the imaging of the brain addicted to food, gambling, tobacco, and opiates.

Offers a unique perspective on how addiction affects the brain Covers a broad scope of addictions, including food, gambling, tobacco, and common psychogenic agents with a focus on their effects on the brain Focuses on the use of medical imaging methods, especially MRI, to explore and explain addiction in the brain

For the longest time, neuroendovascular procedures have been done through the femoral artery (TFA) located in the thigh and groin region. Over the last decade, interventional cardiologists have pioneered a newer approach: by utilizing the radial artery in the wrist to access the arterial system, a new procedure has been employed: radial access. Numerous studies and randomized controlled trials have demonstrated this to be a safer way of performing endovascular procedures, and a majority of the interventional cardiac procedures are performed via radial access.The neurointerventional community, however, has been slow to adopt this innovation. The radial access innovation is finally making its way to the neurointerventional community. Radial Access for Neurointervention has all the literature supporting illustrating how radial access is useful to the neuro community. Detailed chapters describe the techniques of radial access including positioning the patient on the table, driving the microcatheters intracranially, aneurysms treatment, AVM/AVF embolizations, complications management, and more. Readily enhanced throughout with pictures and movies, this first-of-its-kind book will guide neurointerventionalists to transition their practices to radial first.

This text organizes a range of results in chromatic homotopy theory, running a single thread through theorems in bordism and a detailed understanding of the moduli of formal groups. It emphasizes the naturally occurring algebro-geometric models that presage the topological results, taking the reader through a pedagogical development of the field. In addition to forming the backbone of the stable homotopy category, these ideas have found application in other fields: the daughter subject 'elliptic cohomology' abuts mathematical physics, manifold geometry, topological analysis, and the representation theory of loop groups. The common language employed when discussing these subjects showcases their unity and guides the reader breezily from one domain to the next, ultimately culminating in the construction of Witten's genus for String manifolds. This text is an expansion of a set of lecture notes for a topics course delivered at Harvard University during the spring term of 2016.

Selling for a lower price than any similar guidebook, and deliberately limited to a short 256 pages, this EasyGuide is an exercise in creating easily-absorbed travel information. It emphasizes the authentic experiences in each destination:the most important attractions, the classic method of approaching a particular destination; the best choices for accommodations and meals; the best ways to maximize the enjoyment of your stay. Because it is "quick to read, light to carry", it is called an "EasyGuide", and reflects Arthur Frommer''s lifetime of experience in presenting clear and concise travel advice.

Quick to read, light to carry with expert advice in all price ranges, Frommer's EasyGuide to National Parks of the American West is the complete up-to-date reference for travelers who want to maximize their visit in the smartest, most time-efficient way. Frommer's trademark candid and accessible expertise offers reviews on selecting the correct park for you based on interests and length of stay, complete with suggested driving tours. The guide also covers where to find the best hiking trails, rafting, rock climbing, wildlife viewing, scenery and campgrounds. Insightful commentary on everything from the natural attractions to avoiding crowds and finding the best times to visit, as well as finding the right place to stay.

An unconventional biography of Nikola Tesla focused on his later years and increasing eccentricity, told through his daily ritual of feeding pigeons in New York City parks. Uses the pigeons as a framing device to explore his brilliant mind, his fall from scientific grace, and his eventual isolation. Each chapter named after a different pigeon he claimed to know personally.

Brooklyn was never supposed to become the center of the apocalypse.When a crimson eclipse freezes above Earth, reality begins tearing apart. Shadow creatures emerge from beneath the city streets, ancient celestial kingdoms awaken beyond the stars, and humanity collapses under the weight of a war older than creation itself.Miles and Alessia soon discover the horrifying truth:They were never human.Across countless lifetimes, they have existed as Aetherion and Nythera — cosmic beings destined to protect the balance between worlds. But every time they reunite, darkness rises to destroy them before harmony can be restored.Now the Void Chorus has returned.Led by the terrifying Hollow King, the ancient force seeks to awaken the First Forgotten — a godlike entity capable of erasing existence itself.As Earth falls into chaos and the Astral Divide merges with reality, Miles and Alessia must embrace the powers buried within their souls… before the universe collapses forever.But salvation may come from something even greater than them both:A child destined either to save creation…—or destroy it.

"Rational Answers to Stupid Questions" is an expansive and meticulously researched book that addresses and dissects around one hundred of the most prevalent and persistent arguments that challenge and often contradict mainstream scientific understanding. This book is a comprehensive journey through various fields of science, systematically debunking misconceptions and unfounded claims that frequently surface in public discourse and media.The book is divided into several sections, each dedicated to a different scientific discipline, ensuring a well-rounded and thorough exploration of each subject.
