Advances in the Neuroscience of Addiction
Neurobiology of Huntington’s Disease
Edited by
Applications to Drug Discovery
Cynthia M. Kuhn Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, USA
George F. Koob The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California, USA
Written by an international team of authorities in their respective fields, this book provides an overview of current and emerging approaches for investigating the biologic mechanisms of drug addiction. Delineating promising research discoveries in relapse prevention, it covers mathematical models, model organisms, and traditional, well-characterized animal models, and experiments conducted on humans. The book begins with current animal models of addiction, which mimic the state of humans entering treatment—recently-abstinent animals that receive common triggers for relapse (classical conditioning, stress, and neuroadaptive dysregulation). Coverage then shifts to the use of electrophysiologic approaches, which enable researchers to characterize the discharge patterns of single neurons during drug self-administration. • Covers novel approaches for investigating the biologic mechanisms of drug addiction • Explores advances in voltammetry and enzyme-linked biosensors for measuring glutamate

Donald C. Lo Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, USA
Robert E. Hughes Buck Institute for Age Research, Novato, California, USA
This volume presents a thorough review of the issues surrounding drug discovery and development for the treatment of Huntington’s disease (HD). Drawing on the expertise of key researchers in the field, the book discusses the basic neurobiology of HD. It explains how the monogenic nature of the disease confers enormous practical advantages for translational research, including the creation of robust experimental tools, models, and assays to facilitate discovery, as well as validation of molecular targets and drug candidates for HD. • Covers the latest research approaches in genetics, genomics, and proteomics— including high-throughput and high-content screening • Highlights advances in the discovery and development of new drug therapies for neurodegenerative disorders
The text discusses the theoretical background and results of neuroimaging studies related to neuronal networks activated by drug-specific cues. It then describes modern genetic approaches to manipulate target proteins that influence addictive behavior. It rounds out its coverage by illustrating how a neuroeconomic approach can inform studies of reward processing in general and addiction in particular.
• Examines the practical realities of preclinical testing, clinical testing strategies, and, ultimately, clinical usage While the development of effective drug treatments for this paradigmatic neurodegenerative disease remains a big challenge, a highly interactive and cooperative community of researchers and clinical investigators brings us to the threshold of potential breakthroughs in the quest for therapeutic agents. The impressive array of drug discovery resources outlined in the text holds much promise for treating this disease and for providing hope to HD patients and their families.

Epilepsy Mechanisms, Models, and Translational Perspectives Edited by
Jong M. Rho and Raman Sankar University of California School of Medicine, Los Angeles, USA
Carl E. Stafstrom University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA
Introduces Scientifically Promising Therapies Pivotal advances in drug development and surgical techniques, as well as the emergence of innovative approaches such as electrical stimulation of the nervous system, have led to a substantial reduction in the morbidity and mortality of patients with epilepsy. At the same time, remarkable developments in neuroscience have enhanced our understanding of brain structure and function. Epilepsy: Mechanisms, Models, and Translational Perspectives incorporates new advances that bring epilepsy therapies from the laboratory bench to the bedside and back again. It brings together the work of more than 70 of the field’s most respected and cutting-edge researchers and clinicians. The idea for this book was inspired by the editors’ collective desire to promote bridging of the so-called translational divide—that is, covering innovative treatment strategies based on scientific principles that have yet to be tested rigorously in the clinical setting, but yet may provide practitioners with new and promising approaches toward epilepsy therapeutics.
In 24 chapters, this comprehensive and up-todate reference: • Offers an overview of the basic anatomic and functional substrates of seizure genesis and considers novel pathogenic concepts • Examines antiepileptic drug therapy, including the latest on molecular targets • Looks at the state of surgical treatments for epilepsy and discusses advances in the fields of structural and functional neuroimaging • Reviews the variety of nontraditional therapeutic options, such as the ketogenic diet, the vagus nerve stimulator, immunomodulators, neurosteroids, herbs, and botanicals • Investigates neuroendocrine, hormonal, and biobehavioral factors that influence seizure susceptibility • Provides a glimpse of what future epilepsy therapies might look like Contents: Scientific Foundations. Antiepileptic Drugs. Epilepsy Surgery. Alternative Therapies. Other Modulators of the Epileptic State. The Future of Epilepsy Therapy.

Neuropsychology Autism Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Immune Abnormalities Abha Chauhan, Ved Chauhan, & Ted Brown New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities, Staten Island, USA
Autism: Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Immune Abnormalities brings together a wealth of cutting-edge evidence that is already influencing how we treat this serious condition. It looks at the role of neuropathological abnormalities, genetics, and those factors common to oxidative stress such as inflammation, immune dysfunction, aberrant cellular signaling, and gene-environment interactions. Among dozens of research topics, this volume: • Looks at interactions between genetic and environmental factors • Summarizes evidence for oxidative damage and inflammation in autism • Introduces a PDD behavior inventory as a tool for assessing autism • Considers autism as an aberrant adaptive response to neuroinflammation and oxidative stress • Examines the role of abnormal calcium signaling and the hypothesis that it may represent a target for novel therapeutics • Presents a hypothesis that autism arises from the dysregulation of a unified gut/brain system rather than originating in the brain alone • Proposes the utility of using a biopsychosocial method to treat autism The findings in this book implicate oxidative stress as a common feature in autism, and support the claim that oxidative stress and intracellular redox imbalance can be induced or triggered in autism by exposure to certain environmental agents.

Neuroscience Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development Five-Volume Set Shirley A. Bayer & Joseph Altman Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
This award winning series provides a complete record of the development of the human central nervous system from spinal cord gestation through the third trimester. The atlases are organized by coronal, sagittal, and horizontal planes of sectioning to ensure that nearly every structure in the developing brain is represented pictorially. Each volume provides two-page spreads containing high resolution black and white images on one side and ghost images on the other with unabbreviated labels to apprise readers of the exact structures identified. The final volume provides a concluding essay that summarizes major events of CNS development, while offering a theoretical account of the morphogenetic processes involved. From the 1960s through the 1980s, the work of legendary pioneers Shirley Bayer and Joseph Altman chronicled the development of the rat nervous system. In the 1990s, they shifted their attention to humans when they realized how little was known about the development of the human central nervous system. Bayer and Altman decided to apply their knowledge of rat nervous system development to humans by directly examining histological sections of normal human specimens. They took over 10,000 photographs of the best preserved specimens available. Each photo was scanned to create digitalized files that could be further examined with sophisticated equipment, including 3dimensional reconstruction software. This set of atlases is the result of this effort. This information is included in an extended monograph in Volume 5 that will no doubt serve as a launching pad for future research.
