A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This 2000 publication reviews the rapid development of functional neuroimaging techniques and their implications for child psychiatry. It is unusual in its focus on children, and in integrating brain mapping with genetics and behavioural testing. This reference will help clinicians and investigators to: • Understand through imaging the mechanisms of childhood psychiatric disorders • Decide which technique is most appropriate for their purposes, with respect to technology, experimental design, data analysis and ethical considerations • Appreciate the role of molecular genetics and neuropsychology in planning brain imaging studies Coverage includes description of brain imaging strategies and the application to children of imaging techniques used in adults, set against an overview of normal behavioural and cognitive development. Linking the latest findings from neuroimaging to neurophysiological models, this is an essential resource for researchers and clinicians concerned with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Revue de presse

Review of the hardback: 'This book will be of great use to doctors, researchers and teachers and as it is known the brain does not reach maturity until about the age of 20 it implies a maturing concept ... This very clear, current and rigourous work brings psychiatry and neurology to its origins.' Dr J. M. Sala, European Journal of Psychiatry

Review of the hardback: 'Every professional and novice in functional neuroimaging will benefit from these authors' insightful reflections on the caveats and dangers involved in interpreting functional neruoimaging ... Functional Neuroimaging in Child Psychiatry is an interesting, informative and comprehensive textbook on the subject; worthwhile reading for the lay reader, the novice and the expert.' Cognitive Neuropsychiatry
