By activating your unique access code, you can discover more than 200 videos, view and enlarge nearly 250 high resolution images, and annotate the work for future personal reference. The Neurology of Eye Movements, edition 5 has two interrelated parts. The first comprises a modern synthesis of the anatomical, physiological, and pharmacological substrate for eye movements, including current views on the reflexive and voluntary control of gaze. This synthesis is based on electrophysiological and inactivation studies in macaque, and behavioural studies in humans that incorporate functional imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in normals, and clinicopathological studies in patients with neurological, visual, or vestibular disorders. Sophisticated experimental paradigms have been applied to both species to explore aspects of cognition, memory, volition, and reward. This large body of research has demonstrated the power of eye movements as experimental tools. The second part of the book applies this synthesis to the clinical and laboratory evaluation of patients with abnormal eye movements due to a broad range of disorders - from muscular dystrophy, and genetic disorders, to dementia, including visual and vestibular conditions. By placing links to figures, tables, boxes, and videos, a synthesis of basic research and clinical findings is provided, that may shed new light on disease processes and provide insights on normal brain function.

Since the sequencing of the human genome, major developments in our understanding of otology and neurotology have taken place; diagnostic measures have been transformed, and the underlying genetics of a variety of diseases affecting the ear have already been unraveled. Otorhinolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons will find this monograph an invaluable resource for the management of neurotological problems in their patients. The contributors are internationally renowned, and many of them are affiliated with Johns Hopkins University, a leading center for neurotology and otology. The text thus emphasizes state-of-the-art developments in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of hearing, balance and the facial nerve. Scientific and clinical pathophysiology is reflected throughout. This volume is a key reference guide for medical students, general practitioners, and aspiring otolaryngologists and otologists.
