Translational Neuropsychopharmacology

“This book examines the ‘translational gap’ between animal models of neuropsychiatric disease and human studies. … The intended audience is scientists working on problems related to neuropsychopharmacology. … This is an important addition to the literature on translational neurosciences. It is an important contribution to understanding both the current state of this field and its possible future directions.” (Eric Gausche, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2016)
