Interaction between cognition and mood regulation is a common
neural and behavioural phenomenon. This book brings together an
international group of neuroscientists who are investigating neural
and molecular mechanisms underlying cognition, mood, and
interactions between cognition and mood. Exciting advances are
occurring in the understanding of the neural and molecular link
between dementia and depression. This unique book provides a
comprehensive overview of cognitive and mood neurosciences, with a
strong emphasis on interactions between dementia and depression. It
begins with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of dementia
and depression and core issues facing clinical and neurological
investigators. Then, several chapters cover the neurochemical
substrates underlying the manifestation of cognition and mood
regulation, including monoamines, excitatory amino acids, and
angiotensins. Separate chapters are devoted to animal models of
human dementia and behavioural changes in Alzheimer's dementia, the
most common cause of progressive decline of cognition in aged
humans. Subsequent chapters cover common molecular and neural
abnormalities of cognitive impairments and mood deregulation,
including topics such as neural atrophy, cholesterol, stress, and
ageing. The book ends with current knowledge of convergence of
antidementic and antidepressive pharmacology. The book is intended
for scientists involved in the field, who may want a broader
knowledge of all the aspects related to cognition and mood
regulation, and for PhD or MD students, residents and neurologists
who may wish to learn more about the interactions between cognition
and mood. Neuropharmacologists will also benefit from the knowledge
presented in the book in developing drugs that are more efficient
to modify cognition and mood and more effective to restore normal
cognitive and mood regulation.
