Synopsis
:
This textbook aims to review the current state of biological
psychiatry, a field that has expanded tremendously over the
past few decades. The book is aimed at clinical, postgrad-
uate and research audiences, within psychiatry, neurology,
psychopharmacology, and psychology.
After a few introductory chapters dealing with concep-
tual and measurement issues in biological psychiatry, the
first part of the book deals with basic principles relating
to animal models, transmitter systems (aminergic, amino
acid, peptidergic), neuroendocrinology, neuroimmunology,
psychophysiology, neuropsychology, brain imaging, neuro-
genetics, gene-environment interactions, and gender issues.
These chapters are intended to provide the necessary basic
information that would enable the reader unfamiliar with
each of the fields addressed to understand the later chapters
applying this knowledge to specific psychiatric disorders.
