Handbook of Neuropsychiatry Research (Neuroscience Research Progress)

Neuropsychiatry is the branch of medicine dealing with mental disorders attributable to diseases of the nervous system. This new book presents topical data relating to neuropsychiatry including: interventions for affective and behavioural disturbances in acquired brain injury; prolactinomas, PRL and weight gain; the clinical and pathological characteristics of Pick's disease; the association between salivary amylase, cortisol and stress; serotonergic receptors in the central nervous system; and the quest for a major neuropsychiatrical breakthrough in Alzheimer's disease.
