Böcker av Lars P. Klimaschewski

This non-fiction book provides information about the latest findings on research and therapy of nerve regeneration with catchy drawings and in understandable words. Why do nerves in the extremities regenerate, but the axons in the spinal cord do not? Can transplanted stem cells or biopolymers restore regeneration? Are bioprostheses able to functionally replace amputated arms or legs? Neuroscientist Lars Klimaschewski answers these questions and reports on exciting findings from anatomy, cell and molecular biology and neurotechnology. Find out, among other things, how a brain-computer interface processes signals from the brain in order to control the arm or leg muscles again via electrodes after a paraplegia.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

This non-fiction book informs those interested in neuroscience and medicine about the latest findings on the therapy of neurodegeneration with a focus on Alzheimer's dementia and Parkinson's disease. What happens in the brain when we are ageing? How does neuronal cell death occur when we become forgetful? Which new therapies are available to combat the death of brain cells?Supported by illustrative drawings, Lars P. Klimaschewski presents the latest developments in neurobiological ageing research in an understandable way and reports exciting news from the Alzheimer's and Parkinson's laboratories worldwide. On his personal website klimasbrainblog.com, Lars P. Klimaschewski provides up-to-date and in-depth information on the book.

Dieses Sachbuch informiert mit eingängigen Zeichnungen und in verständlichen Worten über die neuesten Ergebnisse zu Forschung und Therapie der Nervenregeneration. Warum regenerieren Nerven in den Extremitäten, die Axone im Rückenmark aber nicht? Können transplantierte Stammzellen oder Biopolymere die Regeneration wieder ermöglichen? Sind Bioprothesen in der Lage, amputierte Arme oder Beine funktionell zu ersetzen? Der Neurowissenschaftler Lars Klimaschewski beantwortet diese Fragen und berichtet über spannende Erkenntnisse aus der Anatomie, Zell- und Molekularbiologie sowie aus der Neurotechnologie. Erfahren Sie unter anderem, wie eine Gehirn-Computer-Schnittstelle Signale aus dem Gehirn verarbeitet, um über Elektroden die Arm- oder Beinmuskeln nach einer Querschnittslähmung wieder anzusteuern.
