The Decade of the Brain has brought with it many advances in our
understanding of the biology of major mental disorders. Biology of
Schizophrenia and Affective Disease provides a state-of-the-art
look at the biological bases of severe mental illness from the
perspective of the researchers making these exceptional
discoveries. In 17 chapters, some of the best investigators in the
field furnish overviews of their ground-breaking findings and set
course for future research efforts. From the biology of stress to
excitotoxicity in the development of corticolimbic alterations in
the schizophrenic brain, this outstanding reference tool explores
the explosive progress in the fields of biochemistry, molecular
genetics, neuroscience, and brain circuit anatomy and the resultant
advances in nearly every aspect of the biology of the brain and
mental illness. Dissolution of cerebral cortical mechanisms in
patients with schizophrenia, linkage and molecular genetics in
infantile autism, and postmortem studies of suicide victims and
schizophrenic patients are among the topics covered. The book also
discusses treatment issues, including the mechanisms of action of
antidepressants and atypical antipsychotic drugs. Practitioners and
students will find this volume an invaluable reference tool for
understanding the mechanisms of normal and pathological brain
function and potential areas for further insight into the
biological bases of mental illness.
