New high throughput techniques in neuroscience and psychiatry have enhanced the development of experimental, customizable animal models that are predictive of human neuropsychiatric pathology and give vital insights on the mechanisms and pathways involved. In
Psychiatric Disorders: Methods and Protocols
, key experts have written integrated chapters on neuropsychiatric research sharing their insightful expertise and opinions focusing on both the animal models as well as the cutting edge techniques applied. Beginning with an overview of the animal research in psychiatric illness and substance abuse, this comprehensive volume continues with the modeling of neuropsychiatric illness, drug abuse paradigms and techniques, biomarker identification, autoimmune inflammatory response, and neuroendocrine alteration in the areas of psychiatry, as well as state-of-the-art "
Omics
approaches" and neurosystems biology/data mining techniques to compute and analyze genomic and proteomics alteration occurring within neuropsychiatric models. As a part of the highly successful
Methods in Molecular BiologyT
series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Thorough and easily applicable,
Psychiatric Disorders: Methods and Protocols
offers the detailed and clearly illustrated tools necessary for neuroscientists and psychiatrists to handle many unanswered scientific questions with a more creative and insightful approach.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"This is a comprehensive compilation of in vivo and in vitro neuropsychiatric research methods and protocols on animal models and cutting-edge techniques in the wide spectrum of psychiatric illnesses. . It is written for graduates, postdoctoral workers, and established scientists working on behavioral and molecular neuropsychiatric research. . The detailed methods and protocols make this a quality book for any researcher in the field of neuroscience and psychiatry." (Valerie E. Mathis-Allen, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2012)
