Clinical Neurotherapy: Chapter Eight. Diagnosing and Treating Closed Head Injury: Exposing and Defeating the Mild Huge Monster [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

One of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide is brain injury. Most cases are mild, and the prevalence of disability and its impact are not well known. In the last 20 years neuroimaging technologies have changed the way we approach traumatic brain injury (TBI), especially mild injury (MTBI), and its sequelae. New treatment tools have been emerging in parallel with diagnostic technologies. Here, these noninvasive tools will be reviewed, especially those with therapeutic value that have a direct impact on brain function, either passively (operant conditioning, neurofeedback) or actively (transcranial electromagnetic stimulation). The main focus will be on EEG as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for MTBI.
