Animal Models in Biological Psychiatry

Allan V. Kalueff

In this book experts from academia introduce the reader to some of the recent new developments in the field of experimental modelling of various brain disorders. Covering data from neuroethology to neurogenetics and psychopharmacology, this book collects a number of outstanding state-of-the-art papers on the topic, collected by the Russian Society for BioPsychiatry. They will give us a brief but sound resume of the reasons why it is so important to study biological markers of brain pathology, and in so doing, discuss the various challenges and available opportunities.
