This comprehensive encyclopedia provides a thorough overview of the human brain and nervous system—the body's "CPU and data network." It covers basic anatomy and function, diseases and disorders, treatment options, wellness concepts, and key individuals in the fields of neurology and neuroscience. Written to be accessible to high school and college students and general readers, this three-volume encyclopedia provides a sweeping overview of the brain, nervous system, and their diseases. Bringing together contributions from leading neuroscientists, neurologists, family physicians, psychologists, and public health professionals, the work covers both brain anatomy and function and neurological disorders, addressing how underlying processes—whether biological, developmental, environmental, or neurodegenerative—manifest themselves. Roughly a third of the entries are about neuroscience and how neurons "talk" to each other in brain circuits to provide normal function. Another group of entries discusses abnormalities or dysfunctions of the brain that develop into disorders or diseases, while a third group focuses on research and experimental procedures commonly used to study the nervous system. The encyclopedia also explores its subject from a wellness perspective, explaining actions that can prevent neurological disorders and injuries and promote general nervous system health. By addressing both ends of the spectrum, the work presents a holistic perspective that will appeal to a broad range of readers.

This book essentially provides a refreshing description of the cortical and subcortical anatomy of the brain and how it relates to function.

It discusses surgical strategies on intrinsic brain tumors in general and gliomas in particular with several images. The issues that need to be considered in decision-making are explained in this book. The best surgical options are described step-by-step. The relevant anatomy and function of the region are discussed and show the consequences of the damage. This book covers the intra-operative nuances to prevent neurological morbidity. Modern imaging features that help during surgery and decision-making are elaborated. The book is heavily illustrated with anatomical images, intraoperative images, radiologic images, and drawings supported by videos of the surgical approaches and techniques. The chapter structure involves reoccurring headings, didactic elements such as chapter summaries, boxes (note, caution), bullet points, tables, flowcharts, key points. This book is handy for neurosurgeons, especially neuro-oncologists, which helps keep them abreast with the advances in the field.
