520    Complicated and wondrous in its workings, the human brain 
       is composed of trillions of cells, each assigned to a task
       that gives humans the capability to live, think, and 
       remember. When something goes wrong within the brain, or 
       interferes with its blood flow, the consequences can be 
       serious. The Brain Disorders Sourcebook is a complete 
       guide to the normal functioning of the brain and what 
       happens when problems arise. Recent advances in stroke 
       prevention and treatment, as well as new tools for brain 
       surgery, like the gamma knife, make the area of brain 
       disorder treatment and research an exciting one. For 
       anyone who has had a problem or knows someone who has, 
       this book can help make sense of this fascinating organ, 
       with discussions on what can go wrong, treatment options, 
       and the recovery process. Comprehensive information on 
       diagnostic testing, including CT scans, MRIS, and 
       electroencephalograms. How to prevent strokes and short- 
       and long-term treatment plans for stroke victims.  
       Diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, including 
       information on chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
