Description
Based on the 7th International Symposium of the Tokyo Institute of Psychiatry, this book covers major world topics in the biological study of schizophrenia. The volume is divided into 4 major sections: the history of the concept of schizophrenia; neuromorphological and brain-imaging studies; psychophysiological findings observed in schizophrenics in connection with genetics, psychology and psychopharmacology; and new research strategies for understanding the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, the biological mechanism underlying the relapse process of schizophrenic symptoms and the differences in pharmacological profiles between typical and atypical neuroleptics.
