| The present book on basal ganglia research aims at promoting cross-fertilisation and between fields (eg: between addiction and drug-induced dyskinesia) and between levels of analysis (e.g. between computation and physiology). |
| Table of Contents: |
| Foreword; A Theoretical Treatment of Basal Banglia Function; Conductance-Based Models of STN-GPe-GPi Circuits: From Biophysics to Behaviour; Basal Ganglia Physiology is Built on Competition Between Feedback Loops; Reinforcement Driven Non-linear Dimensionality Reduction in the Multilayer Network of the Basal Ganglia; A Possible Role for Tonically Active Neurons of the Primate Striatum in Learning About Temporal Relationships Among Salient Stimuli; Frontostriatal Mechanisms in Reinforcement: Implications for ADHD; Motivational Signals of Dopamine Neurons; Actions, Policies, Values and the Basal Ganglia; The Basal Ganglia Contol of Locomotion and Postural Muscle Tone; The Pedunculopontine Tegmental Nucleus and Voluntary Movement; Involvement of PPN in Parkinson's Disease: Production vs. Protection; Neural Mechanisms Subserving the Processing of Time; Functional Segregation and Integration in the Motor Thalamus; Superior Colliculus Mediated Visuomotor Function Depends on Coupling Global Inhibition and Focal Disinhibition; Sensory Control of Dopaminergic Neurones; Perspectives on Subcortical Contributions to Higher-order Aspects of Visuo-Oculomotor Control; The NMDA Receptor Signalosome and Related Macromolecular Assemblies: Novel Molecular Targets for Symptomatice Treatments in Parkinson's Disease?; Converging Evidence of the Basal Ganglia's Role in Focused Action Selection and Inhibition of Competing Information; The Akinetic Puzzle: A Cortical Viewpoint; The Dynamics of Tremor Networks in Parkinson's Disease; Influence on Experience on the Vulnerability of DA Neurons to Oxidative Stress: Implications for Therapeutic Invention for Parkinson's Disease; The Janus Faces of Neuroinflammation; Programmed Cell Death in Parkinson's Disease; The Proteasome in Neurodegenerative Disorders of the Basal Ganglia; Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Neurodegenerative Disorders in the Basal Ganglia; Potential Role of a-Synuclein in Neurodegenerative Diseases of the Basal Ganglia: Influence of Genetic and Environmental Factors; The Pathophysiology of Dyskinesia: Electrophysical Recordings and System-Level Changes in Cortico-Basal Ganglionic Circuits; Levodopa-Induced-Dyskinesias the Clincal Problem: Clinical Features, Incidence, Risk Factors, Management and Impact on Quality of Life; Psychosurgery of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A new Indication for Deep Brain Stimulation?; Deep Brain Stimulation in Adult and Pediatric Dystonia; Deep Brain Stimulation in Epilepsy; Clinical Results of STN DBS in Parkinson's Disease; Behavioural Disorders in Patients with Parkinson's Disease Treated by Bilateral Stimulation of the Subthalamic Nucleus. |
