Produktbeschreibung

The concept underlying this book is the contributions of new genomic information to review some of understanding neural and behavioral functions. In some cases, these are already recognized as having strong hereditary components, while in others, the contributions of specific gene products may soon be discovered. Utilizing the flood of new information derived from the Human Genome Project and corresponding efforts to elucidate the mouse genome." Genetic Influences on Neural and Behavioral Functions" provides a scholarly catalog, organized logically, of relations between the expression of specific genes, nerve cell biology and behavior, normal and abnormal, in animals AND humans. Sample topics include genes in relation to schiziphrenia, panic disorder, epilepsy, alcoholism, sleep, eating disorders, and more. TOC:From the contents: Genes and Brain Function: An Introduction Genetics and Opioid Pharmacology. The Search for Susceptibility Genes in Bipolar Disorder Genetics of Schizophrenia. The Genetic Basis and Neurobiologic Characteristics of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Panic Disorder: A Genetic Perspective. The Genetics of Epilepsy: Mouse and Human Genetics of Alcoholism Alcohol and Other Abused Drugs Molecular Genetics of Primary Tumors of the Central Nervous System Paraneoplastic Neurologic Disorders and Onconeural Antigens. The Neurofibromatoses: Genetic and Molecular Progres Dendritic Localization of mRNA and Local Protein Synthesis Molecular Biological and Histochemical Analysis on the Functional Significance of Phosphoinositide Metabolism in the Nervous System Genes in Differentiation, Survival, and Degeneration of Midbrain Dopaminergic Neurons.
