This edited volume presents a comprehensive exploration of the latest advancements in the field of neuroscience, encompassing seven chapters. In Chapter One, the authors delve into the intricate interplay of various factors, such as health system barriers, cultural beliefs, and knowledge about Alzheimer's disease, in shaping the intentions of individuals to seek help for early symptoms of the condition among American Indians and Alaska Natives. Chapter Two delves into the potential of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a valuable tool for supporting and predicting the clinical diagnosis of the most prevalent neurodegenerative dementias. Chapter Three examines the findings of migraine-candidate gene association studies conducted over the past three decades, shedding light on the genetic underpinnings of this debilitating condition. Chapter Four provides a comprehensive review of telemetric intracranial pressure monitoring, exploring its history, types, indications, benefits, and potential complications. Chapter Five delves into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying neurogenic pulmonary edema and discusses the clinical and therapeutic implications of this condition. Chapter Six traces the evolution of the dopamine receptor blocking agent medication class, shedding light on its impact on our understanding of dopamine's role in psychotic disorders. Finally, Chapter Seven outlines the criteria for patient selection, diagnostic work-up, medical management, and surgical techniques for individuals with recurrent strokes secondary to steno-occlusive cerebrovascular disease.
