Behavioral neuroscience encompasses the disciplines of neurobiology
and psychology to study mechanisms of behavior. This volume
provides a contemporary overview of the current state of how ethics
informs behavioral neuroscience research. There is dual emphasis on
ethical challenges in experimental animal approaches and in
clinical and nonclinical research involving human participants.
An understanding of each of the critical components of the funding
process is key to meeting the challenges posed by the increasingly
intense competition for research funds. This book is a vital tool
for those who want to build and maximize their grant support.
Although many publications provide valuable information about
proposal preparation, few cover the full spectrum of issues--from
planning through execution--in the funding process. The book leads
off with a discussion of the relationship between researchers and
the funding environment, features of good short- and long-range
funding plans, characteristics of funding organizations in terms of
funding power, mission, and priorities, and the manner in which
funding information is disseminated. Succeeding chapters focus on
the actual development of the many different types of
opportunities--research projects, multicomponent research programs,
career development and training programs, and small business
innovation research. These chapters emphasize conceptualizing an
idea, optimizing the researcher-sponsor match, and testing the
concept for competitiveness. Further chapters deliver strategies
for translating research ideas into written proposals, preparing
administrative sections and communicating with a sponsor. The final
chapters are dedicated to the outcomes of the proposal process:
reviews, rebuttals, and resubmissions; and to progress reports and
future proposals for maintaining and building on funding.
Flowcharts, examples, and summary tables are used throughout the
text to highlight key points.

Research increasingly suggests that addiction has a genetic and
neurobiological basis, but efforts to translate research into
effective clinical treatments and social policy needs to be
informed by careful ethical analyses of the personal and social
implications. Scientists and policy makers alike must consider
possible unintended negative consequences of neuroscience research
so that the promise of reducing the burden and incidence of
addiction can be fully realized and new advances translated into
clinically meaningful and effective treatments. This volume brings
together leading addiction researchers and practitioners with
neuroethicists and social scientists to specifically discuss the
ethical, philosophical, legal and social implications of
neuroscience research of addiction, as well as its translation into
effective, economical and appropriate policy and treatments.
Chapters explore the history of ideas about addiction, the
neuroscience of drug use and addiction, prevention and treatment of
addiction, the moral implications of addiction neuroscience, legal
issues and human rights, research ethics, and public policy.

Recent advances in the brain sciences have dramatically improved
our understanding of brain function. As we find out more and more
about what makes us tick, we must stop and consider the ethical
implications of this new found knowledge. Will having a new biology
of the brain through imaging make us less responsible for our
behavior and lose our free will? Should certain brain scan studies
be disallowed on the basis of moral grounds? Why is the media so
interested in reporting results of brain imaging studies? What
ethical lessons from the past can best inform the future of brain
imaging? These compelling questions and many more are tackled by a
distinguished group of contributors to this volume on neuroethics.
The wide range of disciplinary backgrounds that the authors
represent, from neuroscience, bioethics and philosophy, to law,
social and health care policy, education, religion and film, allow
for profoundly insightful and provocative answers to these
questions, and open up the door to a host of new ones. The
contributions highlight the timeliness of modern neuroethics today,
and assure the longevity and importance of neuroethics for
generations to come.
In the past 10 years the number of antipsychotics prescribed to
children with psychiatric disorders have skyrocketed. Despite this
rapid growth, most medications have been inadequately studied in
children for safety or efficacy and many have serious adverse
health. Measures are needed to ensure that the health and safety of
children are being protected, and debates have emerged over whether
or not clinical trials in this population should be conducted. This
edited volume reviews the latest findings for the safety and
efficacy of antipsychotic use in children and examines tensions
that are created by off-label use, both in clinical psychiatric
practice and research.
Offers coverage of efficacy, prevalence, and adverse impacts of
the use of antipsychotics in children
Explores ethics challenges of clinical research in this patient
population
Serves as a platform for future discussions designed to increase
the safety of children taking antispychotics
Edited work with chapters authored by leading neuroethicists in
the field around the globe - the broadest, most expert coverage
available"
The past two decades have seen unparalleled developments in our
knowledge of the brain and mind. However, these advances have
forced us to confront head-on some significant ethical issues
regarding our application of this information in the real world-
whether using brain images to establish guilt within a court of
law, or developing drugs to enhance cognition. Historically, any
consideration of the ethical, legal, and social implications of
emerging technologies in science and medicine has lagged behind the
discovery of the technology itself. These delays have caused
problems in the acceptability and potential applications of
biomedical advances and posed significant problems for the
scientific community and the public alike - for example in the case
of genetic screening and human cloning. The field of Neuroethics
aims to proactively anticipate ethical, legal and social issues at
the intersection of neuroscience and ethics, raising questions
about what the brain tells us about ourselves, whether the
information is what people want or ought to know, and how best to
communicate it. A landmark in the academic literature, the Oxford
Handbook of Neuroethics presents a pioneering review of a topic
central to the sciences and humanities. It presents a range of
chapters considering key issues, discussion, and debate at the
intersection of brain and ethics. The handbook contains more than
50 chapters by leaders from around the world and a broad range of
sectors of academia and clinical practice spanning the
neurosciences, medical sciences and humanities and law. The book
focuses on and provides a platform for dialogue of what
neuroscience can do, what we might expect neuroscience will do, and
what neuroscience ought to do. The major themes include:
consciousness and intention; responsibility and determinism; mind
and body; neurotechnology; ageing and dementia; law and public
policy; and science, society and international perspectives.
Tackling some of the most significant ethical issues that face us
now and will continue to do so over the coming decades, The Oxford
Handbook of Neuroethics will be an essential resource for the field
of neuroethics for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows,
basic scientists in the neurosciences and psychology, scholars in
humanities and law, as well as physicians practising in the areas
of primary care in neurological medicine.

Pressing ethical issues are at the foreground of newfound knowledge
of how the brain works, how the brain fails, and how information
about its functions and failures are addressed, recorded and
shared. In Neuroethics: Anticipating the Future, a distinguished
group of contributors tackle current critical questions and
anticipate the issues on the horizon. What new balances should be
struck between diagnosis and prediction, or invasive and
non-invasive interventions, given the rapid advances in
neuroscience? Are new criteria needed for the clinical definition
of death for those eligible for organ donation? What educational,
social and medical opportunities will new neuroscience discoveries
bring to the children of tomorrow? As data from emerging
technologies are made available on public databases, what
frameworks will maximize benefits while ensuring privacy of health
information? How is the environment shaping humans, and humans
shaping the environment? These challenging questions and other
future-looking neuroethical concerns are discussed in depth.
Written by eminent scholars from diverse disciplines - neurology
and neuroscience, ethics, law, public health, and philosophy - this
new volume on neuroethics sets out the conditions for active
consideration. It is essential reading for the fields of
neuroethics, neurosciences and psychology, and an invaluable
resource for physicians in neurology and neurosurgery, psychiatry,
paediatrics, and rehabilitation medicine, academics in humanities
and law, and health policy makers.
