Neurobiology of Brain Disorders is a groundbreaking book, primarily targeting basic scientists, offering an extensive overview of both neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases. This essential resource bridges basic, translational, and clinical research by delving into the genetic, developmental, molecular, and cellular mechanisms underlying all major brain disorders.
Designed for students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers across neuroscience, neurobiology, neurology, and psychiatry, this book provides the foundational tools needed to understand key neurological and psychiatric conditions. It brilliantly connects basic research with relevant clinical conditions, fostering a deeper understanding of the field.
Explore a wealth of topics including developmental, autoimmune, central, and peripheral neurodegeneration; infectious diseases; and conditions affecting higher functions. The final chapters address broader issues, such as ethical concerns in neuroscience and discussions on health disparities. Each chapter comprehensively covers clinical conditions, diagnosis, treatment, underlying mechanisms, relevant research, and key unanswered questions.
- Links basic, translational, and clinical research on nervous system disorders to accelerate disease prevention and treatment.
- Covers a wide array of neurological disorders, such as ADHD, Down syndrome, autism, muscular dystrophy, diabetes, TBI, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, depression, and pain.
- Illustrated in full color to enhance understanding and engagement.
