Schizophrenia By Stephen Lawrie (Senior Clinical Research Fellow, Division of Psychiatry, University of Edinburgh, UK)

Summary

This new volume unravels how neuroimaging techniques can help us better understand schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders. It details what structural and functional brain imaging studies have already established about schizophrenia and what developments are likely in the foreseeable future.

Schizophrenia Summary

Schizophrenia: From neuroimaging to neuroscience by Stephen Lawrie (Senior Clinical Research Fellow, Division of Psychiatry, University of Edinburgh, UK)

Neuroimaging techniques have made a huge contribution to our understanding of schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Until now however, texts on both schizophrenia and neuroimaging have paid little attention to the overlap between these areas. This new volume is the first dedicated to unravelling how these techniques can help us better understand this complex disorder. Each chapter focuses on a particular research method, describing the nature of the findings, the main technological problems, and future possibilities. Though including sufficient methodological detail to be of value to imaging researchers, the emphasis throughout is on providing information of value to clinicians. Written and edited by leaders in schizophrenia research, this book details what structural and functional brain imaging studies have already established about schizophrenia and what developments are likely in the foreseeable future.
