Neurobiology of Psychiatric Disorders: New Perspectives on Mental Illness Associated with High Penetrance Genetic Variants

"The Neurobiology of Psychiatric Disorders" provides a conceptually innovative framework to understand psychiatric disorders including autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, intellectual disability, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. This book will allow readers to learn diverse mechanistic bases of psychiatric disorders causally associated with genetic variants. Because rare genetic variants have unprecedentedly high levels of penetrance for psychiatric disorders, this book provides reliable genetic links and their mechanistic substrates, thereby providing the starting points of precision medicine.
