A lo largo de este libro vamos a ir descubriendo de qué manera podemos beneficiarnos en nuestras actividades diarias, cómo darle una vuelta de tuerca a nuestro modo de vida para que lo cotidiano deje de ser rutinario y comience a neuroestimular el cerebro. "¿Qué venía a buscar?" "¿Qué te iba a decir?" Estas son las clásicas preguntas que nos hacemos todos los que tenemos más de treinta años, y cuando hablamos de esto con amigos todos decimos: "A mí me pasa lo mismo" o "Es la edad. De más está decir que la única respuesta que tiene sentido, y es real, es la primera, pues a todos nos puede pasar que nos olvidemos de algo. Porque estamos apurados, ansiosos o estresados; porque andamos haciendo muchas cosas a la vez o porque no descansamos adecuadamente. Envejecer no es sinónimo de deterioro, sino parte del crecimiento, de la evolución, y la edad no tiene por qué limitarnos en nuestra vida cotidiana. La vida moderna hace que corramos de un lugar a otro. El reloj se convierte en nuestro peor enemigo cuando nos damos cuenta de que no nos alcanzan las horas para todo lo que tenemos que hacer y no encontramos tiempo para nosotros, mucho menos para cuidar y neuroestimular el cerebro. Buscamos opciones: talleres de memoria, revistas de sudokus, sopas de letras, crucigramas y demás juegos de mente. ¿Es verdad que ir a talleres de memoria o realizar ese tipo de ejercicios es bueno para mantener el cerebro activo? Sí, son una opción y muy valiosa, pero no la única. Buenas noticias: podemos neuroestimular el cerebro, rejuvenecerlo o, mejor dicho, mantenerlo joven y ágil estando activos. A lo largo de este libro vamos a descubrir de qué hablamos cuando hablamos de neuroestimular el cerebro, cuáles son las funciones cognitivas y cómo se va transformando este órgano con el pasar de los años. Después veremos cómo aprovecharnos de todo lo que nos rodea en cualquier momento del día. Usar las redes sociales, ser creativos, hacer pequeños cambios en nuestra rutina, organizarnos, ser curiosos, sociables, mantener nuestro cuerpo en actividad, aprender a relajarnos, tener buen sentido del humor, realizar actividades manuales, viajar, bailar, cantar, escuchar música, comer, cocinar son algunas de las muchas actividades cotidianas que hacen que el cerebro se mantenga en su mejor forma. Nuestra vida cotidiana puede ser muy neuroestimulante si sabemos aprovecharla.

There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.

Deep brain stimulation for the treatment of patients with Parkinson’s disease was introduced in the 1990s. Initially performed only at academic centers, over the past decade it has become a widespread surgical procedure. A variety of surgical techniques are employed and innovations are introduced frequently. This book is an ideal source of information for the many practicing neurosurgeons who did not learn this surgery during their training but would now like to add it to their practice, as well as an excellent update on exciting new developments in surgery for Parkinson’s disease. This book is designed to provide practicing neurosurgeons with current knowledge on the practical aspects of surgical treatment of patients with Parkinson’s disease. It explains how to identify surgical candidates and determine the optimal surgery, describes the various surgical techniques that are currently employed, and offers insights into how to optimize deep brain stimulation therapy after implantation. The keys to avoidance of surgical complications are carefully elucidated. In addition, an overview is provided of potential advances on the near-term horizon, including closed-loop deep brain stimulation, gene therapy, and optogenetics. All topics are covered by experienced Parkinson’s disease surgeons, in a concise and digestable format. The book will be an ideal source of information for the many practicing neurosurgeons who would like to add deep brain stimulation to their practice, as well as an excellent update on new developments in surgery for Parkinson’s disease.

"What is the state of multicultural education in child care centres in Western European countries? What should multicultural education in these centres look like? These are the two key questions addressed in this book. In this study the authors have analysed the state of multicultural education in child care centres in the Netherlands, England, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, France and Spain. The main situation considered here is the Netherlands where the recent and rapid growth of the number of child care centres, together with the growing numbers of immigrant children visiting these centres, have given a strong impetus to concerns about the quality of centre education from a multicultural perspective." "For centre staff, sensitive responses towards children and parents, as well as parental involvement, have become essential for managing cultural diversity in a way beneficial for both migrant and indigenous families. It is argued that defining and improving the quality of centre education from a multicultural perspective require discussions between staff and parents about educational goals and the means to achieve them. The book gives recommendations for improving the relationship between staff and parents by way of consensus building about these aims."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
