Editors: Berge A. Minassian, Pasquale Striano and Giuliano AvanziniLondon-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2017, pp. 206 Progressive myoclonus epilepsy strikes healthy children and has a slow yet devastating impact upon their lives. Almost all forms are caused by single gene defects, the majority of which were identified during the genomic era. Accurate clinical diagnosis is […]
Editors: Elisa Fazzi and Paolo Emilio BianchiLondon-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2016, pp. 215 The rising number of cases in visual disorders during development, over the last decade, has strongly influenced approaches to diagnosis and rehabilitation. Moreover, the study of visual function has evolved not only within an ophthalmological, but also a neurodevelopmental framework: advances […]
Editors: Daria Riva and Sara BulgheroniLondon-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2015, pp. 176 Cognitive and behavioural neurology is increasingly the focus of attention from the neurosciences, both in adults and children. This field combines a number of specialties including neurophysiology, anatomy, developmental neurobiology, new neuroimaging techniques and genetics, to ensure that neurological conditions are approached […]
Editors: Stefano D’Arrigo, Daria Riva and Enza Maria ValenteLondon-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2014, pp. 242 This book provides an update on paediatric neurological disorders with cerebellar involvement. The opening section of the volume is dedicated to the structure and function of cerebellum: the specific development of this organ, unlike other structures of the central […]
Editors: Daria Riva, Sara Bulgheroni and Michele ZappellaLondon-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2013, pp. 232 This volume provides advances in current knowledge on the diagnosis, neurobiology, pharmacologic therapy, and rehabilitation methods in autism, suggesting a potential influence on professional practice and enabling an up-to-date approach to effective diagnosis and treatment. Autism is an extremely complex […]
Frontal lobes – Limbic system – Visuocognitive system Editors: Daria Riva, Charles Njiokiktjien and Sara BulgheroniLondon-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2011, pp. 288 This volume discusses the neural networks that process higher cognitive functions and behaviour patterns during the child’s developmental period. It takes as its point of departure the work presented in the previous […]
Editors: Eugenio Mercuri, Ermellina Fedrizzi and Giovanni CioniLondon-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2011, pp. 140 This book provides a comprehensive review and update of the newest diagnostic and therapeutic tools in paediatric neurology. Special attention is paid to neuroradiologic and neurophysiologic techniques and to their clinical application, with guidelines and suggestions on how an integrated […]
Early diagnosis and new treatments Editors: Rossella Parini and Generoso AndriaLondon-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2010, pp. 187 The last fifteen years have witnessed the extraordinary evolution of basic and clinical research in the field of lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs), transforming many of them from dire, untreatable progressive diseases to conditions that allow for possible […]
Editors: Daria Riva and Charles NjiokiktjienLondon-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2010, pp. 242 Advances in the neurocognitive sciences, aided by increased imaging power, have extensively confirmed that during early development specific areas of a child’s brain are designed to process specific functions—neurologic, cognitive, linguistic, motoric, and visuospatial, among others—and that this processing involves globally complex […]
Editor: Francesco GuzzettaLondon-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2009, pp. 344 Recent advances in the field of developmental neuroscience have been quite exciting, especially as they pertain to infants and children, in whom neurologic development proceeds more rapidly than at any other time of life. So much has now been learned of normal neurologic development, which […]
Editors: Giuliano Avanzini and Jeffrey Noebels London-Paris, John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, 2009, pp. 271 This volume provides updated information on epilepsy genes, on the clinical picture of genetic epilepsies discovered so far, and on conceptual advances in the complicated area of genotype-phenotype correlations. Recent studies on monogenic epilepsies present new insights into mechanisms whereby a […]
