Schizophrenia
Neuroimaging techniques have made a huge contribution to our understanding of schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Until now however, texts on both schizophrenia and neuroimaging have paid little attention to the overlap between these areas. This new volume is the first dedicated to unravelling how these techniques can help us better understand this complex disorder. Each chapter focuses on a particular research method, describing the nature of the findings, the main technological problems, and future possibilities. Though including sufficient methodological detail to be of value to imaging researchers, the emphasis throughout is on providing information of value to clinicians. Written and edited by leaders in schizophrenia research, this book details what structural and functional brain imaging studies have already established about schizophrenia and what developments are likely in the foreseeable future.
Neuroimaging Genetics
Neuroimaging Genetics: Principles and Practices is the comprehensive volume edited by Drs. Bigos, Hariri, and Weinberger and co-authored by the preeminent scholars in the field. This text reviews the basic principles of neuroimaging techniques and their application to neuroimaging genetics. The work presented in this volume elaborates on the explosive interest from diverse research areas in psychiatry and neurology in the use of imaging genetics as a unique tool to establish and identify mechanisms of risk, establish biological significance, and extend statistical evidence of genetic associations.
The Neurology of Schizophrenia
Starting the handbook series with a volume on the neurology of schizophrenia is obviously an appropriate choice. The volume presents the scientific evidence for the neurological basis of the schizophrenia syndrome. Not only are facts presented, but also many conceptual frameworks for defining subtypes of schizophrenia and relating clinical phenomenological findings to disorders of brain structure and function in schizophrenia. Chapters 1 to 8 flow in roughly the same sequence as a neurologist examining a schizophrenic patient: history, physical examination, differential diagnosis, laboratory tests, EEG, evoked potentials, neuropsychological testing etc. are dealt with. Chapters 9 to 13 cover the state of the art in brain imaging findings in schizophrenia using the various techniques available to us. Other chapters cover theoretical models of schizophrenia based on current neuropathological findings and provide a framework for future direction in research.
Neuropsychiatric Disorders
An account of the known anatomy, pathology, molecular biology and diagnosis of neuropsychiatric diseases, this text combines clinical, radiological and laboratory illustrations for comparative information. It deals with dementias, psychoses, congenital disorders, epilepsy and motor disorders.
Quick Reference to the American Psychiatric Association Biographical Directory
Quick reference directory based on the Biographical directory of the fellows and members of the American Psychiatric Association, but revised and expanded. Contains 3 sections, i.e., alphabetical listing of fellows and members, foreign languages index (geographically arranged). Also contains appendixes on errata to regular directory, new members, new certifications, and major address changes.
