Description

The Science of the Brain: Function, Dysfunction and Disease is an innovative exploration into the complex interplay between brain functionality and various neurological disorders, meticulously compiled by a world-renowned researcher. This groundbreaking book presents a comprehensive analysis, offering the first complete theories for eleven major brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and autism spectrum disorder, among others. Each chapter delves into a unique theoretical framework, from lipid raft theories to sympathetic nervous system impacts, all while proposing potential treatment targets grounded in established scientific data. In addition to two chapters that lay the groundwork for understanding brain adaptability and anatomy, other chapters independently dissect each disorder, revealing fresh insights that promise to invigorate research and clinical application. This essential resource not only serves neuroscientists and clinicians seeking a deeper understanding of brain disorders but also invites entrepreneurs interested in novel therapeutic avenues. With its rich references and pioneering theories, this book is poised to become indispensable to students, researchers and clinicians, paving the way for future discoveries in brain health and disease management.
