Neuropsychiatry is the branch of medicine dealing with mental disorders attributable to diseases of the nervous system. This new book presents topical data relating to neuropsychiatry including: interventions for affective and behavioural disturbances in acquired brain injury; prolactinomas, PRL and weight gain; the clinical and pathological characteristics of Pick’s disease; the association between salivary amylase, cortisol and stress; serotonergic receptors in the central nervous system; and the quest for a major neuropsychiatrical breakthrough in Alzheimer’s disease.
