Endocannabinoids: The Brain and Body's Marijuana and Beyond

Endocannabinoids: The Brain and Body's Marijuana and Beyond

CRC (2005-11-01) - ISBN: 0415300088 - 584 Pages - 5.9 MB - PDF

This volume explores research on marijuana-like substances produced naturally by the human body and brain. These endogenous lipid molecules, or endocannabinoids, constitute a uniquely conserved and ubiquitous physiological control system in a variety of species and plays fundamental roles in development and cell death. The authors discuss this remarkable progress in marijuana research including identification of genes encoding endocannabinoid receptors, isolation of endocannabinoids and entourage ligands, and functional identification of transporters and enzymes for the biosynthesis and degradation of these endogenous substances.

A Symphony in the Brain: The Evolution of the New Brain Wave Biofeedback

A Symphony in the Brain: The Evolution of the New Brain Wave Biofeedback by Jim Robbins

Grove Press (2001-07-10) - ISBN: 0802138195 - 272 Pages - 3.3 MB - DJVU

Can you fix your own neurologic problems without resorting to drugs? Science writer Jim Robbins suggests that some such conditions--like epilepsy, autism, and depression--could yield to a recently developed technique called neurofeedback. His book A Symphony in the Brain describes the process, its evolution from the 1970s fad of biofeedback, its practitioners, and some of its success stories. Using to quickly provide information on real-time EEG, practitioners train patients to control global or local brain states--or so the theory goes. Unfortunately for its proponents, there are still no rigorous research data showing conclusive results. Robbins makes a good case that the lack of research is due more to scientific turf battles and a drug-dependent medical establishment than to any fault of neurofeedback. Some of the case studies he explores, of children and adults brought out of comas or trained to reduce their epileptic seizure frequency, suggest that we ought to look more deeply and rigorously into the technique. Whether it works can only be determined by controlled studies, which may be forthcoming. In the meantime, Robbins provides contact lists and additional research information for interested readers, as well as the inspiration to pursue a potentially life-saving treatment. --Rob Lightn
