Description
Starting the handbook series with a volume on the neurology of schizophrenia is obviously an appropriate choice. The volume presents the scientific evidence for the neurological basis of the schizophrenia syndrome. Not only are facts presented, but also many conceptual frameworks for defining subtypes of schizophrenia and relating clinical phenomenological findings to disorders of brain structure and function in schizophrenia. Chapters 1 to 8 flow in roughly the same sequence as a neurologist examining a schizophrenic patient: history, physical examination, differential diagnosis, laboratory tests, EEG, evoked potentials, neuropsychological testing etc. are dealt with. Chapters 9 to 13 cover the state of the art in brain imaging findings in schizophrenia using the various techniques available to us. Other chapters cover theoretical models of schizophrenia based on current neuropathological findings and provide a framework for future direction in research.
