Functional Neuromarkers for Psychiatry explores recent advances in neuroscience that have allowed scientists to discover functional neuromarkers of psychiatric disorders. These neuromarkers include brain activation patterns seen via fMRI, PET, qEEG, and ERPs. The book examines these neuromarkers in detail-what to look for, how to use them in clinical practice, and the promise they provide toward early detection, prevention, and personalized treatment of mental disorders. The neuromarkers identified in this book have a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity higher than 80%. They are reliable, reproducible, inexpensive to measure, noninvasive, and have been confirmed by at least two independent studies. The book focuses primarily on the analysis of EEG and ERPs. It elucidates the neuronal mechanisms that generate EEG spontaneous rhythms and explores the functional meaning of ERP components in cognitive tasks. The functional neuromarkers for ADHD, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder are reviewed in detail. The book highlights how to use these functional neuromarkers for diagnosis, personalized neurotherapy, and monitoring treatment results.
While the brain is ruled to a large extent by chemical
neurotransmitters, it is also a bioelectric organ. The collective
study of Quantitative ElectroEncephaloGraphs (QEEG-the conversion
of brainwaves to digital form to allow for comparison between
neurologically normative and dysfunctional individuals), Event
Related Potentials (ERPs - electrophysiological response to
stimulus) and Neurotherapy (the process of actually retraining
brain processes to) offers a window into brain physiology and
function via computer and statistical analyses of traditional EEG
patterns, suggesting innovative approaches to the improvement of
attention, anxiety, mood and behavior. While it does not offer the breadth provided by an edited work,
this volume does provide a level of depth and detail that a single
author can deliver, as well as giving readers insight into the
personl theories of one of the preeminent leaders in the
field.
