This book offers the most up-to-date information about research surrounding the neurobiology of bipolar disorder as well as currently available and novel therapeutic options. The volume has assembled a widely respected group of preclinical and clinical researchers who bring their expertise to bear upon this illness by reviewing cutting-edge research and clinical evidence regarding the pathophysiology and treatment of bipolar disorder. Early chapters review the course and outcome and genetics of this highly heritable condition, including chapters on epigenetics and clinical endophenotypes. Several chapters offer a remarkably thorough and unique overview of the neurobiology of the disorder, including what is known from neuroimaging work and the development of animal models. Finally, the book covers treatment strategies for bipolar disorder, including both traditional and novel therapeutics, as well as non-pharmacological treatments. It offers both researchers and clinicians key insights into this devastating disorder.
Anyone who knows how to share equally knows how to divide. It's important to understand that division is more than a part of a math class; it's a math operation used every day in many ways. This valuable book reviews "fast facts" of division, such as the zero property which states that zero divided by any number is zero. The accessible text and illustrative photographs help make concepts like this more tangible. Learners can test their understanding by completing the questions in the Math Mania! boxes throughout the text, which are accompanied by answer keys for self-assessment opportunities.
