Emphasis must be placed on the evidence that the vestibular system is capable of being trained. On the basis of our understanding of the vestibular system, of spatial disorientation, and of motion sickness, operational vestibular problems should be able to be dealt with using the tools of education and training. Whatever method is used, the need for vestibular training persists as long a spatial disorientation wastes the lives of aircrew and motion sickness compromises military effectiveness.

The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of synthetic reviews of fundamental topics dealing with auditory systems. Each volume is independent and authoritative; taken as a set, this series will be the definitive resource in the field. This volume contains a coherent collection of synthetic reviews on the vestibular system: the component of our auditory and nervous systems that is responsible for our sense of balance. This volume will be of interest to neuroscientists and otolaryngologists involved in studying the vestibular and auditory senses.

The symptoms of schizophrenia have generated interest for more than two centuries. How are they produced? Where do they come from? In this highly stimulating book, Dr Locke proposes a new basic mechanism to account for many of the findings in schizophrenia. His ideas are based on observations and experiments at a State Psychiatric Hospital where he was the director of a Neurological Unit for ten years. He was struck by an outstanding sign of schizophrenia which had not attracted attention in the classical literature. Schizophrenia patients, he noticed, were too alert, too attentive. If this hyperawareness or widespread unfocussed attention is the result of excessive arousal, Dr Locke reasoned it would make sense to look into the vestibular system which is alleged to be one of the most effective contributions to the ascending reticular activation system. This original view of schizophrenia is attractive because it is creative, supported by a wide range of evidence and above all testable. Unbalanced: A View From the Vestibule will be of interest not only to psychiatrists, neuroscientists and mental health workers, but also to anyone interested in how the human mind works.

Featuring over 450 full-color photographs of common disease presentations, Genital Dermatology Atlas is a practical guide to the diagnosis and treatment of genital dermatologic lesions. The book enables clinicians to quickly generate a differential diagnosis and provides specific treatment recommendations for each disease. Core chapters are organized by disease presentation including patches and plaques, papules and nodules, and ulcers. Other chapters include anatomy and normal variants, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, special issues in genital dermatology, and pediatrics. Illustrations are organized by morphologic appearance for rapid diagnosis, and treatment is thoroughly described. This Second Edition is fully updated, includes more male genital disorders, and has new chapters on genital pain syndrome and on genital pruritus and the eczematous diseases.

The details of the receptor mechanism are not yet fully understood for any sensory system. However, sufficient data are available (for the vestibular system and for other systems) to permit meaningful tracking of the sensory messages through the nervous system and via conscious experience. The reception, process ing, storage and output of information in man and other animals, as done by means of receptors, neurons, secretory cells and muscle fibers, are collectively referred to as mind. Sensory physiologists tend to disbelieve in extrasensory perception. Sensory physiology in general is an area upon which different sciences and methods converge. Anatomists, physiologists, psychologists, physicists, chemists, and engineers have made important contributions to sensory physiology. What is special about vestibular physiology is the fact that many research workers are clinicians, living under the constant pressure of their patient's demands. This is a disadvantage when it comes to writing handbooks, but an advantage for the pa tient, since research is guided by clinical practice and can be quickly applied. Modern methods, such as recording from single nerve units and the correlation of electrophysiological and psychophysical data, have greatly contributed to our knowledge, yet the study of lesions is still important, especially in the vestibular field.
