Molecular and Genetic Basis of Neurologic and Psychiatric Disease, Sixth Edition: Volume Two

Authored by Roger N. Rosenberg, this comprehensive guide provides an in-depth introduction and reference to the foundations and practical aspects relevant to the majority of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. This updated volume focuses on degenerative disorders, movement disorders, neuro-oncology, neurocutaneous disorders, epilepsy, white matter diseases, neuropathies and neuronopathies, muscle and neuromuscular junction disorders, stroke, psychiatric disease, and a neurologic gene map.

A favorite of over three generations of students, clinicians, and scholars, this new edition retains and expands on the informative, concise, and critical tone of the first edition. It serves as an essential reference for general medical practitioners, neurologists, psychiatrists, geneticists, related professionals, and for the neuroscience and neurology research community at large.

The content covers all aspects essential to the practice of neurogenetics to inform clinical diagnosis, treatment, and genetic counseling. It provides comprehensive coverage on the neurogenetic foundation of neurological and psychiatric disease, including detailed coverage of genomics, animal models, and diagnostic methods. New chapters on the pharmacogenomics of epilepsy and the most recent updates in molecular genetics, focusing on neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases, are also included.

This book is a must-have for anyone looking to understand the neurogenetic basis of neurological and psychiatric diseases. With its comprehensive coverage and detailed information, it is an invaluable resource for both professionals and researchers in the field.
