In this authoritative volume you’ll find today’s most important molecular neurobiological advances and their relevance to clinicians treating patients with mental illness. Molecular Neurobiology for the Clinician, Review of Psychiatry, Volume 22, will update you on the latest findings, and their impact on psychiatry. You’ll learn about Discoveries with the potential to revolutionize your clinical approach by changing the ways in which you diagnose and treat patients The effects on psychiatry of advances in the molecular basis of neuronal network function, particularly in relation to abnormalities in cognitive and emotional regulation, and the identification of novel molecular targets for drug development How to apply these discoveries to diagnosing and treating major psychiatric disorders, including childhood- and adolescent-onset disorders, schizophrenia, drug addiction, and severe mood and anxiety disorders Molecular Neurobiology for the Clinician is an outstanding compilation of the best research by top names in the field. Psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric residents, and graduate students in neuroscience, psychiatry, and psychology will gain knowledge, understanding, and techniques for better diagnosis and treatment. Contents Molecular neurobiology of childhood- and adolescent-onset psychiatric disorders. Molecular genetics: a role in diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders? Molecular neurobiology and schizophrenia: implications for etiology and treatment. Molecular mechanisms of drug addiction. Cellular neurobiology of severe mood and anxiety disorders: implications for development of novel therapeutics. Index.
Summary: A fascinating read
Rating: 5
This volume includes several excellent chapters, introducing the reader to a number of developing concepts in the world of psychiatric neuroscience. These topics are alternately discussed on a more general, easy-to-understand level, and in great technical detail - each with their own merits. The reference lists/information are also quite helpful for those wishing to pursue a topic further (for example, a thorough table of mouse knockout studies in which an anxiety-like phenotype was found). Another highlight is the excellent discussion of how the field of psychiatric genetics is coming of age. This book will prove interesting to both basic scientists and clinical psychiatrists, and even to laypersons with a particular interest in this field.
