The area of medicine which focuses on the diagnosis and monitoring of neurological diseases through the measurement and evaluation of nervous system function is known as neurophysiology. Brain-stem is an important part of the nervous system which connects the brain to the spinal cord. There are majorly three parts of the brain-stem, which includes the medulla oblongata, the midbrain and the pons and sometimes the diencephalon. The brain-stem plays a crucial role in conduction. This involves relaying the information from the body to the cerebellum and cerebrum, which pass through the brainstem. It also has integrative functions which play an integral role in respiratory control, alertness, pain sensitivity control, cardiovascular system control, consciousness and awareness. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of neurophysiology. It provides comprehensive insights into brain-stem function and control. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.

The branch of medical science which deals with the study of the function of the nervous system as well as its measurement and evaluation is known as neurophysiology. It lies at the intersection of neuroscience and physiology. It involves analysis of the functional properties of neurons, glia, and networks. Clinical neurophysiology focuses on the study of the central and peripheral nervous systems through the recording of bioelectrical activity. Some of the areas of study within this field are epilepsy, developmental clinical neurophysiology, psychophysiology and psychopathology, and motor control and movement disorders. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of neurophysiology. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and clinical applications of this area of study. Students, researchers, and medical experts associated with neurology will benefit alike from this book
