Psychiatric Disorders, Second Edition provides basic scientists a
comprehensive overview of neurological and neuropsychiatric disease.
This book links basic, translational, and clinical research, covering
the genetic, developmental, molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying
all major categories of brain disorders. It offers students,
postdoctoral fellows, and researchers in diverse fields of neuroscience,
neurobiology, neurology, and psychiatry the tools they need to obtain a
basic background in the major neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Topics include developmental, autoimmune, central, and peripheral
neurodegeneration, infectious diseases, and diseases of higher function.
