Produktbeschreibung

The Human Hypothalamus: Neuropsychiatric Disorders, Volume 181 in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series, provides comprehensive summaries of recent research on the brain and nervous system as they relate to clinical neurology. This volume identifies the neurobiology and neurophysiology of disorders relating to the hypothalamus and provides treatment information for these disorders. Disorders covered include neuropsychiatric, neurodegenerative, periodic, and autoimmune disorders. Coverage includes Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy, sleep, pain, depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, autism, aggressions, addiction, and more.

• Summarizes research on how the hypothalamus relates to neurological disorders
• Contains neuropsychiatric, neurodegenerative, periodic and autonomic disorders
• Includes the neurobiology of, and treatment for, each disorder
• Covers depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, autism, aggression, addiction, and more
• Provides coverage of sleep and pain
