Advances in Translational Neuroscience of Vestibular and Eye Movement Disorders

Beschreibung

This book presents state-of-the-art coverage of basic, translational, and clinical science of vestibular and eye movement disorders. It covers both the most common conditions as well as unique conditions and features contributions from the world's leading neuroscientists, neurologists, and ophthalmologists. It includes dedicated chapters on mathematical models, pharmacotherapy, neuromodulation, motion perception, visual influence on eye movement, physiology of strabismus, and microsaccades. This completely revised and updated new edition now also covers related vestibular disorders, and the chapter on the effects of neuromodulation of eye movements is unique in the literature.

Beyond clinical work, she founded WIN EPILEPSY, an iOS and Android health app supporting epilepsy patients in India. Within the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), she serves as the Vice Chair of the Young Epilepsy Section (YES) and as Communications & Publications Task Force Leader of the ILAE Neurotechnology Section. She is also a podcast reporter for Sharp Waves, the official podcast of ILAE. Outside work, one will find her spending time with the family, enjoying equity market analysis or at the gym. Jorge C Kattah, M.D. is Professor and Head of Neurology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Peoria. He obtained an M.D. degree from El Colegio mayor de Nuestra Señora Del Rosario, Bogotá, Colombia, followed by a residency in Neurology at Georgetown University and a fellowship in Neuro-ophthalmology at the Eye and Ear Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was a faculty member at Georgetown University for 20 years before relocating to the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria to establish a new neurology residency training program. He has been the Professor and Chairman of the department for 27 years. His research interest over the last 50 years includes neuro-ophthalmology, Eye Movements, Vestibular and Cerebellar function, acute vestibular syndrome in peripheral and central lesions, Wernicke’s Encephalopathy, and paraneoplastic syndromes. Aasef G. Shaikh, MD, PhD, is Professor of Neurology at Case Western Reserve University and holds the Penni and Stephen Weinberg Chair in Brain Health. He serves as Vice-Chair for Research in the Department of Neurology and Associate Medical Director at the Cleveland Functional Electrical Stimulation Center. Dr. Shaikh is internationally recognized for pioneering work in movement disorders, eye movements, and neuromodulation, with about 200 peer-reviewed publications, multiple edited volumes, and leadership in NIH- and VA-funded research programs exceeding $5 million. His numerous honors include the Grass Foundation–American Neurological Association Award in Neuroscience, the American Academy of Neurology Career Award, and the Jon Stolk Award for Excellence in Movement Disorders. He is Editor-in-Chief of Dystonia and serves on editorial and scientific advisory panels worldwide, reflecting his sustained impact on advancing translational neuroscience and brain health innovation.
