The book underscores the importance of these models in replicating specific aspects of neurological conditions, thereby contributing to enhanced understanding and treatment of human brain function in patients with neurological issues. This comprehensive resource, divided into seven sections, discusses various animal models and research methods for mental health, neurodevelopmental disorders, addiction, age-related neurodegenerative conditions, cancer and cancer treatments, metabolic conditions, and viruses affecting brain function.
This is an invaluable resource for neuroscience researchers, trainees, and healthcare professionals.

- Focuses on modern animal models of neurological conditions
- Reviews research methods to assist in improving and potentially curing those afflicted with neurological conditions
- Increases understanding of novel animal models, such as human liver mice, human stool as fecal implants of germ free mice, and animal models involving state-of-the-art analyses to improve brain function in those afflicted by neurological conditions

Jacob Raber
Jacob Raber, PhD received his BS in Chemistry and MS in Pharmacochemistry from the Free University of Amsterdam, his PhD in Molecular Genetics and Virology from the Weizmann Institute of Science, and further training under Floyd Bloom at the Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, and Lennart Mucke at the Gladstone Institutes and UCSF. In 2001 he was recruited to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon and currently serves as a professor in the Departments of Behavioral Neuroscience, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Radiation Medicine, an affiliate scientist in the division of Neuroscience at the ONPRC, and a Courtesy Professor in the College of Pharmacy at Oregon State University. He was an Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholar in Aging from 2002-2006. Dr Raber’s research is devoted to characterizing effects of environmental and genetic factors on brain function, identifying of affected pathways, and developing treatments to antagonize detrimental effects.
