Animal Models of Neurological Conditions informs about novel animal models and their unique strengths and limitations in the research of neurological conditions. It demonstrates the importance of animal models’ abilities to replicate only aspects of a given neurological condition and highlights the value of these animal models in increasing human brain function in afflicted patients. This book, comprised of thirteen chapters discusses various animal models and research methods for mental health, neurodevelopmental disorders, addiction, age-related neurodegenerative conditions, and viruses affecting brain function. Although developed with neuroscience researchers and trainees involved in pre-clinical and clinical research in mind, neurologists and other treatment professionals caring for patients with neurological conditions will also find value in this detailed resource.This is an invaluable resource for neuroscience researchers, trainees, and healthcare professionals.Focuses on modern animal models of neurological conditionsReviews research methods to assist in delating, improving, and potentially curing those afflicted with neurological conditionsIncreases understanding of novel animal models and animal models involving state-of-the-art analyses to improve brain function in those afflicted by neurological conditions

Despite the difficulty in comparing clinic-based human tests with animal model testing, there is still great value in pursuing translational approaches, as tests and treatment strategies might be developed to improve brain function in humans suffering from neurological conditions and knowledge obtained from human behavioral studies can be used to further improve the animal models of behavioral analysis. In Animal Models of Behavioral Analysis, expert neuroscientists focus on approaches to translate and compare behavioral tests used in animals with those used in humans not only to increase our understanding of brain function across species but also to provide objective performance measures and bridge the gap between behavioral alterations in humans with cognitive disorders and the correlating animal models of these conditions. Written in the Neuromethods series format, the chapters provide authoritative reviews of many commonly used approaches in the field today.Provocative and cutting-edge, Animal Models of Behavioral Analysis seeks to aid researchers in further developing these vital techniques in an effort to advance studies in both the clinic and the laboratory.

This book synthesizes complex information crucial for the understanding and treatment of depressive disorders. Depression is the most common mental illness worldwide. In 2017, WHO reported that depression was the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide with more than 300 million people living with depression, an increase of more than 18% between 2005 and 2015. Time is of the essence for busy practitioners. Applying discoveries in epigenetics and psychobiology to clinical practice with precision and avoiding misinformation is a worthy but often daunting goal. It is this book’s mission to provide a concise and practical guide.This volume begins with a discussion of the etiology of depression. Etiological considerations underpinning possible relationships between psychosocial variables and health include, but are not limited to, communication in the brain, molecular aspects, stress responses, heritability, and disease associated immune responses. Next, factors related to the ability to change behavior are considered. These include topics such as epigenetics, neuroplasticity, conditioning, therapygenetics, critical periods, and motivation. Then, evidence for efficacy of treatment approaches is presented. These include such interventions as pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, complementary interventions, and self-medication. Understanding and Treating Depressive Disorders is a concise and practical guide that will be of great value to students, psychiatrists, psychologists, behavioral medicine specialists, residents and fellows in those fields, and any clinician that works with patients suffering from depression.
