Electricity / by Mason Crest Publishers,author.(CARDINAL)557074;
Electric charge -- Static electricity -- Electric current -- Sources of electricity -- Conductors and insulators -- Magnetism -- Electromagnetism -- Transformers -- Electric circuits -- Electric motors -- Switches -- Tools and equipment -- Common electrical appliances -- Safety -- Measuring instruments -- Consumption of electricity -- Alternative electricity -- Conservation of electricity."Electricity is a form of energy that is created by the flow of electric charges. The word electricity was coined by a physician William Gilbert. Electricity is neither a renewable nor nonrenewable energy source of energy. The concept of electricity is also observed in several creations of nature. Lightning is the most common natural example. Another example, a fish called the electric eel, has a high voltage current in its cells to catch its prey. In addition to all these examples, all the activities in animal and plant cells take place due to electric stimulation occurring inside the nerve cell. Electricity has several applications in today?s world. It is used to run appliances, such as televisions, computers, microwave ovens, washing machines, etc."--

The great nerve : the new science of the vagus nerve and how to harness its healing reflexes / by Tracey, Kevin J.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-293) and index.Great secrets: understanding the hidden power of the vagus nerve. How electricity could replace your medications -- The great nerve reveals itself -- Your body's healing reflexes -- Great interventions: the new frontier of stimulation therapy. The path to stimulation and early experiments with epilepsy -- Rebalancing inflammation -- Beyond medication: a healing reflex for depression -- Outside-in stimulation to regulate body weight, treat diabetes, and more -- The ear-brain-body connection: over-the-counter devices with many potential benefits -- Great expectations: everyday tools with promise. Meditation and breathwork -- Cold and exercise -- Your great nerve: how to talk to your doctor (FAQs) -- Coda: the clear and present future: computer chips, not medicines.The vagus nerve is fundamental to our health and vitality, coordinating critical functions from the precise heartbeat we need to exercise or rest to the balance of appetite and digestion. Made up of 200,000 fibers, the vagus nerve sends thousands of electrical signals every second between your brain and your most important organs. Yet despite its essential role in life, important vagus nerve functions have eluded centuries of scientific investigation. Now neurosurgeon and researcher Kevin Tracey has discovered the previously unknown power of the vagus nerve to reverse inflammation, balance the immune system, treat chronic illness, and keep our organs humming together in harmony. In The Great Nerve, Dr. Tracey shows us how stimulating the vagus nerve with a tiny electrical implant has the potential to reverse life-altering diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, MS, diabetes, obesity, stroke, depression, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. If this sounds too good to believe, Dr. Tracey shares stories of patients who have gone from being nearly bedridden to running and dancing, along with the science that makes possible these recoveries. He also explains the evidence for lifestyle strategies like ice baths, meditation, exercise, and breathwork that can maintain and improve vagus nerve function. By opening the door to the new field of neuroimmunology, The Great Nerve not only revolutionizes how we understand and treat disease, it gives us unprecedented hope for our health. This is the story of your body's ability to heal itself.

The genius within : unlocking your brain's potential / by Adam, David,1972-author.(CARDINAL)407529;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 317-326).Our brain revolution -- Mensa material -- A problem of intelligence -- Treating and cheating -- Pills and skills -- The mutual autopsy society -- Born with brains -- Current thinking -- The man who learned to cry -- The brain and other muscles -- The little girl who could draw -- The genius within -- The happiest man on death row -- On the brain train -- Faster, stronger, smarter."David Adam explores the groundbreaking neuroscience of cognitive enhancement that is changing the way the brain and the mind works--to make it better, sharper, more focused and, yes, more intelligent. He considers how we measure and judge intelligence, taking us on a fascinating tour of the history of brain science and medicine, from gentlemen scientist brain autopsy clubs to case studies of mental health patients with extraordinary savant abilities. In addition to reporting on the latest research and fascinating case studies, David also goes on his own personal journey to investigate the possibilities of neuroenhancement, using himself as a guinea pig for smart pills and electrical brain stimulation in order to improve his IQ scores and cheat his way into MENSA. Getting to the heart of how we think about intelligence and mental ability, The Genius Within plunges into deep ethical, neuroscientific, and historical pools of enquiry about the science of brain function, untapping potential, and what it means for all of us. Going to the heart of how we consider, measure, and judge mental ability, The Genius Within asks difficult questions about the science that could rank and define us, and inevitably shape our future."--Dust jacket.

The pleasure shock : the rise of deep brain stimulation and its forgotten inventor / by Frank, Lone,1966-author.(CARDINAL)424804;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Singing the brain electric -- The second coming -- Treat yourself -- How happy is too happy? -- The times they are a-changin' -- The secret history of hedonia -- A cure for violence -- Dreams from DARPA -- A grand mistake -- The machine in the mind."The story of a medical pioneer, his fall, and his haunting legacy. The technology invented by psychiatrist Robert G. Heath in the 1950s and '60s has been described as among the most controversial experiments in US history. His work was alleged at the time to be part of MKUltra, the CIA's notorious "mind control" project. His research subjects included incarcerated convicts and gay men who wished to be "cured" of their sexual preference. Yet his cutting-edge research and legacy were quickly buried deep in Tulane University's archives. Investigative science journalist Lone Frank now tells the complete saga of this passionate, determined doctor and his groundbreaking neuroscience. More than fifty years after Heath's experiments, this very same treatment is becoming mainstream practice in modern psychiatry for everything from schizophrenia, anorexia, and compulsive behavior to depression. Parkinson's, and even substance addiction. Lone Frank uncovered lost documents and accounts of Heath's trailblazing work. She tracked down surviving colleagues and patients, and she delved into the current support for deep brain stimulation by scientists and patients alike. What has changed? Why do we today unquestioningly embrace this technology as a cure? How do we decide what is a disease of the brain to be cured and what should be allowed to remain unprobed and unprodded? And how do we weigh the decades of criticism against the promise of treatment that could be offered to millions of patients? Elegantly written and deeply fascinating, The Pleasure Shock weaves together biography, scientific history, and medical ethics. It is an adventure into our ever-shifting views of the mind and the fateful power we wield when we tinker with the self."
