Neuroimaging Genetics

Neuroimaging Genetics: Principles and Practice edited by Bigos, Hariri and Weinberger is the first volume in the field devoted to this burgeoning area of research. It brings together many of the pioneering investigators in the field who collectively summarize the history and current state of the art... [and] includes both chapters on specific neurochemically defined circuits including serotonin and dopamine, as well as those that are more disease specific, e.g schizophrenia, Williams syndrome, anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder. ... For the interdisciplinary investigator/student at the interface of genetics, neuroradiology, psychiatry, and neurology, this will be an enjoyable, informative read. * Charles B. Nemeroff, MD, PhD, Leonard M. Miller Professor and Chairman, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Director, Center on Aging, Leonard M.

In the few years since this method was initially conceived, imaging genetics has emerged as a valuable tool to understand mechanisms of psychiatric disease, understanding how genes work on the level of brain, and to guide the search for new treatments. ... Scholarly and practical at the same time, this book will be an asset to the library of researchers in psychiatry, neuroscience, and genetics, as well as for practitioners curious where the research frontier now lies. * Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg, MD, Director and CEO, Central Institute of Mental Health, Mannheim; and Chair of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Heidelberg / Medical Faculty Mannheim, Germany *
The book offers an impressive range of thematic fields, spanning from basic neuroscience to clinical implications...an important reference book for experienced researchers of the neuroimaging genetics community * Klaus Mathiak and Martin Klasen, Neuroimaging Genetics - The Open Neuroimaging Journal, Vol 10 *
