Sommario/riassunto

Textbook of Neuromodulation encompasses the basic principles, methods and current clinical applications of invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation.  Neurophysiological systems are reviewed along with the basic principles of neuroplasticity that constitutes the rationale for neuromodulation in human medicine.  The overview of the neuromodulatory techniques is provided with special regard to safety and specific patient populations.  Comprehensive and authored by leaders in the field, this resource presents the clinical potential, significance and practical applications of this innovative treatment approach.
