Focusing on the artistic nature of Roman verse satire, this collection of essays challenges the notion that it serves merely as a social document or expression of protest. The author argues that satirists like Juvenal, Horace, and Persius crafted their works as literary forms, emphasizing the constructed roles of their first-person speakers. By examining the use of metaphors, similes, and contemporary themes, the essays aim to clarify the artistic intentions behind Roman satire, moving beyond romantic-era misinterpretations.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used to modulate dysfunctional circuits in the brain with stimulation pulses applied to specific target areas of the brain. Globally, DBS procedures have been most commonly performed for Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, but there are now new and growing research efforts studying DBS for psychiatric disorders and epilepsy. Deep Brain Stimulation: Techniques and Practices written by the Society for Innovative Neuroscience in Neurosurgery along with Dr. William S. Anderson and distinguished experts presents the latest DBS approaches. The book begins with a history of DBS, general frame-based techniques, patient selection primarily for movement disorders, multidisciplinary collaboration, and ethical considerations. Subsequent chapters detail diverse technologies and disease-specific treatment for Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, OCD, epilepsy, major depression, Tourette syndrome, emerging psychiatric indications, and pediatric applications
