Neurophenotypes
The interest in ‘biomarkers’ seen across a spectrum of biomedical disciplines reflects the rise of molecular biology and genetics. A host of ‘omics’ disciplines in addition to genomics, marked by multidimensional data and complex analyses, and enabled by bioinformatics, have pushed the trajectory of biomarker development even further. They have also made more tractable the complex mappings of genotypes to phenotypes – genome-to-phenome mapping – to which the concept of a biomarker is central. Genomic investigations of the brain are beginning to reveal spectacular associations between genes and neural systems. Neural and cognitive phenomics are considered a necessary complement to...
The Happiness Code
Through narratives, illustrations, and step-by-step directions, describes mind-body functions that can cause fear reactions in humans, while offering therapeutic techniques designed to release anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, anger, grief, trauma, shame, embarrassment. Includes information about improving relationships, workplace communication, and business productivity. This book is designed as a self-help guide and instruction reference for those who wish to increase their happiness by releasing fear and by gaining control over their lives. The secret is the use of the mind-body's built-in bio-neural switch which seems to control the fight or flight response in humans. Now, with the use of this recent science and new discoveries concerning it, the average person can employ simple mind-body exercises to improve mental well-being as successfully as one improves body health through physical regimens and exercises.

From Bombs to Books
As Canada welcomes tens of thousands of Syrian refugees, as well as many others finding their way in Canada, communities across the country are dealing with the challenges of welcoming and integrating them. This is a book about how schools can play a powerful and positive role in the day-to-day lives of refugee families. David Starr has served as the principal at two schools in BC where a majority of the student population comes from refugee families. While the students at Edmonds Community and Byrne Creek Community schools in Burnaby, BC, come from all over the world, many are recent arrivals from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Sudan. In this book, David Starr shares the deeply moving stories...
Positive Neuroscience
This volume describes research supported by the John Templeton Foundation's Positive Neuroscience Project, aimed at illuminating the neural mechanisms that promote human flourishing. Topics include social bonds, altruism, creativity, and resilience. The contributors include internationally renowned neuroscientists whose work has shaped and reshaped our understanding of human nature.
Treatment for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Military and Veteran Populations
Prior to the military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, wars and conflicts have been characterized by such injuries as infectious diseases and catastrophic gunshot wounds. However, the signature injuries sustained by United States military personnel in these most recent conflicts are blast wounds and the psychiatric consequences to combat, particularly posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which affects an estimated 13 to 20 percent of U.S. service members who have fought in Iraq or Afghanistan since 2001. PTSD is triggered by a specific traumatic event - including combat - which leads to symptoms such as persistent re-experiencing of the event; emotional numbing or avoidance of thoughts, f...
Translational Methods for PTSD Research
This volume explores the latest experimental techniques in animal models of PTSD and humans affected by PTSD. The methods discussed in this book cover topics such as translational research; addressing sex differences; highlighting the state-of-the-art of biomarker discovery in the development and maintenance of PTSD; and looks at new promising agents to enhance fear extinction retention that may help millions of individuals that suffer from this debilitating disorder worldwide. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Authoritative and thorough, Translational Methods for PTSD Research is a valuable resource that will help researchers understand and learn more about this important disorder.
Emotional Sobriety
Picking up right at the point where Janet Woititz’s 1990 hit book Adult Children of Alcoholics left off, clinical psychologist Tian Dayton’s latest contribution contains fresh perspectives and new analysis on how to gain back emotional stability after growing up with the trauma of addiction, abuse, and dysfunction. Dr. Dayton accomplishes this by presenting and explaining the latest research in neuropsychology and the role trauma plays on chemically altering the brain. With compassion and clear explanations and her own personal journey, Dayton teaches readers how to undo the neuropsychological damage of trauma to rewire the brain and reverse the negative effects trauma has on our future relationships and behaviors to gain emotional sobriety. In Emotional Sobriety, Dr. Dayton teaches readers: How to understand the mind/body relationship of addiction and relationship trauma How to rewire your brain to undo the negative effects trauma has on personal, career, and romantic relationships How changing the way one lives and perceives adult relationships can change the way one thinks and feels and vice versa
