This book is a collection of articles by leading researchers working at the cutting edge of neuro-computational modelling of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Each article contains model validation techniques used in the context of the specific problem being studied. Validation is essential for neuro-inspired computational models to become useful tools in the understanding and treatment of disease conditions. Currently, the immense diversity in neuro-computational modelling approaches for investigating brain diseases has created the need for a structured and coordinated approach to benchmark and standardise validation methods and techniques in this field of research. This book serves as a step towards a systematic approach to validation of neuro-computational models used for studying brain diseases and should be useful for all neuro-computational modellers.

This book provides trainees in psychiatry with an overview of day to day patient evaluation and treatment planning. Divided into two sections, the first chapters cover the basics, psychiatric history, clinical examination and additional evaluation, management and related issues. The second section provides comprehensive appendices covering numerous psychiatric scenarios and disorders, as well as psychiatric tests, ratings and key terms. Authored by a recognised, UK-based expert in the field, the book is further enhanced by clinical photographs and illustrations to assist learning.
