BRAIN PAROXYSMAL DISORDERS : Volume II. EPILEPTIC CONGLOMERATE

Book descriptionThis book represents the 2nd volume of the 3-volume comprehensive guide on Brain Paroxysmal Disorders (BPD). Brain paroxysms generate behavioral acts. The environment or the own organism (homeostasis) triggers brain paroxysms of a physiological (adaptive) or abnormal (pathological) nature.Epileptic attacks are the most popular, but far from the most common BPDs. Examples of Brain Paroxysmal disorders are for instance paroxysmal cephalgia (cluster headache, migraine attacks, episodes of tensile headache), facial pains (trigeminal and glossopharyngeal neuralgia), transitory hallucinoses, a number of sleep disorders (dreamy state, narcolepsy, cataplexy, sleep paralysis, confusional arousals, somnambulism, REM-related Behavioral disorders, nightmare, hypnagogic jerks, bruxism and many other parasomnias), paroxysmal cardio-circulatory disorders (syncope and collapse, transitory ischemic attacks, transitory global amnesia), psychogenic and psychotic reactions (psychogenic non-epileptic attacks, paroxysmal phobias such as fear of open spaces (agoraphobia), fear of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia), panic attacks, paroxysmal motor disorders (myoclonus, tics and motor stereotypes), paroxysms of pathological and physiological vertigo and nystagmus (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, BPPV; altitude vertigo), brain paroxysms in endocrine, metabolic and toxic disorders, etc.This type of disorder is the cause of about 65-75% of visits to neurological outpatient departments.The neuronal theory is not able to explain the variety of behavioral acts.We need a new methodology to explain paroxysmal manifestations. Dipole theory and the hypothesis of brain resonance-isomorphic fields are able to do this. The neurons, neuroglial cells, and brain functional systems can be considered as conglomerates of impulse generators, energy receivers, and field energy storages. Individual brains can receive and transmit coded information to other brains and even in other chronological dimensions.This comprehensive Textbook (1207 pages) consists of 16 chapters, summarized in 3 main parts: I. FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS (Doctrines on the structure of the nervous system and hypotheses for its functioning, as well as the methods for polygraph registration and data archiving); II. THE EPILEPTIC CONGLOMERATE (Neurobiology, Clinical phenomenology, Therapeutic management of epilepsies); and III. TRANSITORY AND REVERSIBLE NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS.How to read this Book?It is written in such a way that it can be used as a textbook (source of knowledge), as a manual (instruction), and as a reference source (almanac).For those of readers who are at the beginning of their careers in neuroscience, systemic reading is probably the most recommended option; for those who already have behind them a certain minimum of clinical practical knowledge - of interest would be the applied and clinical aspects; specialists and researchers from related medical and biological disciplines (neurophysiologists, psychologists, biologists, researchers, teachers), medical technologists and researcher in philosophical-theoretical sciences are likely to find useful ideas in the chapters on fundamental and applied aspects.
