Translational Neuroimaging

With a unique collaborative approach of author teams from industry and academia, Translational Neuroimaging: Tools for CNS Drug Discovery, Development and Treatment provides an integrated perspective of small animal and human brain imaging in the development of translational models and biomarkers to understand human neuropsychiatric disorders and to accelerate the development of novel drugs for their treatment. The book provides chapters on methodical issues in human and animal neuroimaging translational research, allowing a beginning researcher or researcher outside of his/her expertise the opportunity to understand the background of translational research and the use of imaging in studies. Additional chapters cover selected neuropsychiatric disorders, examining the role of neuroimaging in translational model development from the preclinical, animal model perspective as well as from the human experimental medicine perspective. Offering an accompanying website with illustrations and text available for further knowledge and presentations, Translational Neuroimaging: Tools for CNS Drug Discovery, Development and Treatment appeals to researchers working in and studying CNS drug treatment research across industry and academia.
