Description 1 online resource Contents Foundations of neurobiology -- History of neurobiology -- Research and clinical methods -- Nervous system & brain structure -- Major neurobiological brain systems -- Application of neurobiology in psychology -- Childhood disorders -- Schizophrenia -- Mood disorders -- Anxiety disorders -- Eating disorders -- Sleep disorders -- Substance disorders -- Medical disorders -- Traumatic brain injury -- Personality disorders Summary Written for graduate students and trainees in mental health, this is the only text to present neurobiology in the context of clinical issues rather than merely focusing on experimental approaches to biological psychology or structuring it along neurological systems. In clear, easily accessible language the text explains how the brain and nervous system are linked to mental disorders. It integrates information from many aspects of neurobiological research, including imaging, neuropsychology, and genetics in order to foster an in-depth understanding of the psychiatric presentation of disorders t Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Neurobiology.
