Brain Oscillations, Synchrony and Plasticity
Basic Principles and Application to Auditory-Related Disorders
by Jos J. Eggermont
Description:
Brain Oscillations, Synchrony and
Plasticity: Basic Principles and Application to Auditory-Related
Disorders discusses the role of brain oscillations, especially with
respect to the auditory system and how those oscillations are measured,
change over the lifespan, and falter leading to a variety of
psychiatric and neurological disorders. The book begins with a
description of these cortical rhythm oscillations and how they function
in both the normal and pathological brain. It explains how these
oscillations are important to auditory, executive and attention brain
networks and how they relate to the development, production and
deterioration of speech and language. In addition, treatment of
malfunctioning cortical rhythms are reviewed using neuromodulation,
such as transcranial magnetic, direct current, random noise, and
alternating current stimulation, as well as focused ultrasound. The
book concludes by describing the potential role of oscillations in
dyslexia, autism, schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Introduces readers to brain imaging methods such as structural and
functional magnetic resonance imaging, EEG and magnetoencephalography,
in the study of brain oscillations, synchrony and networks of the
normal and pathological brain
Highlights the role of brain
oscillations in perception and cognition, in particular with respect to
the auditory system, speech and language
Describes lifespan
changes, from preterm to senescence, of brain oscillations, brain
networks and how they relate to the development and deterioration of
speech and language
Explains the effects of hearing loss on
neural network change in the auditory and non-auditory networks such as
the default mode-, the salience-, the executive- and attention
networks
Illustrates the breakdown of network connections in
auditory-related disorders such as tinnitus and in psychiatric
disorders with a strong auditory, speech and language component
