The Neurobiology of Schizophrenia begins with an overview of the various facets and levels of schizophrenia pathophysiology, ranging systematically from its genetic basis over changes in neurochemistry and electrophysiology to a systemic neural circuits level. When possible, the editors point out connections between the various systems. The editors also depict methods and research strategies used in the respective field. The individual backgrounds of the two editors promote a synthesis between basic neuroscience and clinical relevance.
- Provides a comprehensive overview of neurobiological aspects of schizophrenia
- Discusses schizophrenia at behavioral, cognitive, clinical, electrophysiological, molecular, and genetic levels
- Edited by a translational researcher and a psychiatrist to promote synthesis between basic neuroscience and clinical relevance
- Elucidates connections between the various systems depicted, when possible
Researchers, clinicians, and students in neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry and psychology
