  • Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry

    The New Anatomy of the Basal Forebrain and Its Implications for Neuropsychiatric Illness
    • 2 Edición

    • Inglés
    **Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Psychiatry**Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry: The New Anatomy of the Basal Forebrain and Its Implications for Neuropsychiatric Illness, Second Edition, builds upon reprised classic chapters by Lennart Heimer and Gary Van Hoesen describing the cortical and subcortical structure and functional involvements of several functional–anatomica... macrosystems in the human forebrain, the existence of which obviates the vaunted heuristic value of the “limbic system” concept in the study of motivation and emotion. New narrative brings in important historical, philosophical, and histotechnical contexts, integration with novel technologies (e.g., optogenetics) and structures (e.g., rostromedial tegmental nucleus), a deeper dive into the interactions of forebrain and prospective cerebellar macrosystems with the reticular core of the brain, and current viewpoints on the essential role of macrosystems in motion, motivation, emotion, cognition, and neuropsychiatric well-being.

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases in Neurodegenerative and Psychiatric Disorders provides a fundamental, pragmatic map of RTKs structure, activation, functions, mechanism of action, gene regulation, and signaling pathways in developing central nervous system (CNS), adult normal CNS, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Additionally, the structure, function, activation, and therapeutic potential of many growth factors have been covered. Here, international experts in the field offer a comprehensive discussion of results of pre-clinical and clinical studies of repositioning of anti-cancer receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (RTKIs) and other promising protein kinase inhibitors in various neurodegenerative disorders including, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis, and psychiatric disorders including, anxiety, depression, alcohol use disorder, and schizophrenia. In addition, the book discusses the obstacles and opportunities for the potential repositioning of kinase inhibitors in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
