Drosophila: A Toolbox for the Study of Neurodegenerative Disease
Drosophila gives an overview of the ways in which Drosophila is currently being used as a model organism to further our understanding of a spectrum of human neurological diseases. Each chapter is written by respected researchers and gives an excellent account of the subject that is suitable for postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers.
The Disordered Mind
Neurological and psychiatric disorders have long been regarded as fundamentally different, depending on whether they appear to affect the brain or the mind. In reality, the brain and the mind are inseparable. Both types of disorder can affect every aspect of brain function: from perception, action, memory and emotion to empathy, social interaction, attention and consciousness. It is easy to view brain disorders as simply tragic or frightening. However, studying where these functions go wrong provides a window on the workings of the healthy brain, and makes it more likely that scientists and clinicians will be able to develop effective treatments or preventative strategies. As individuals, and as a society, we are also able to better empathise with people with disorders of the mind. Building on his pioneering research, Eric R. Kandel illustrates how breakthrough studies of brain disruptions can deepen our understanding of thought, feeling, behaviour, memory and creativity, and perhaps in the future will transform medical care and lead to the development of a unified theory of mind.
Beyond the Language Frontier
"The present volume first offers a revisit of her in-depth studies of the Karamanlis, the Turcophone Rum people native to Karamania, the wider Cappadocia region of Anatolia. The second part of the book presents selected articles discussing the Karamanlidika Press of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, covering both published and unpublished material in Turkish printed in Greek characters. The articles are based on painstaking research in the Ottoman archives and present formerly unknown material. One of the objectives of Balta’s research has been to illuminate the relationship between the Ottoman, Armeno-Turkish and Karamanlidika literatures by acquiring an overview of the publications available in all of these scripts and the translations from one script to another. As suggested by the title, through this work she seeks to go beyond the language frontiers in order to shed new light on Ottoman history" --
