Social Neuroscience of Psychiatric Disorders is about the role of the Social Brain in neuropsychiatry. The need to belong to social groups and interact with others has driven much of the evolution of the human brain. The relatively young field of social neuroscience has made impressive strides towards clarifying the neural correlates of the Social Brain, but, until recently, has not focused on mental and neurological disorders. Yet, the Social Brain underlies all brain-behaviour disorders, and nearly every neuropsychiatric illness involves social behavioural disturbances. This unique and ground-breaking volume is a major step forward in deciphering the impact of the Social Brain on neuropsychiatric disorders. Investigators evaluate neuropsychiatric disorders in the context of recent advances in social neuroscience to reveal the impact of social brain mechanisms on neuropsychiatric disorders and allow readers to glimpse the exciting potential advances in this field in the years to come. This book was originally published as a special issue of Social Neuroscience.

?Por que un libro de neurociencia para ninos? Porque el cerebro es el que nos permite percibir, pensar y sentir. Este fascinante organo juega un papel clave en el modo de hacer las cosas que hacemos, en el aprendizaje de cosas nuevas y en la aceptacion de que habra ciertas cosas que nunca podremos hacer sin importar cuantas veces lo intentemos. Los seres humanos tenemos mayores posibilidades en nuestras vidas cuando sabemos mas y entendemos mejor. Facundo Manes y Maria Roca estan convencidos de que un rol importante para el cientifico del siglo XXI es salir de la torre de marfil del laboratorio y difundir el valor del conocimiento cientifico, sus metodos, sus procedimientos y sus resultados. Son los ninos los que heredaran esta pasion por saber y se transformaran en los cientificos del futuro. En este libro, a traves de experimentos, juegos y actividades, los chicos y los grandes descubriran las funciones del cerebro a traves de la diversion y el desafio. Juegos y experimentos para percibir, pensar y sentir.
