Description

NMR Spectroscopy in Psychiatric Brain Disorders is the first book written about in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy in psychiatric brain disorders. This technique has great potential applications for mapping regional brain chemistry and metabolism, especially as they are related to mental illness. Because very few journal articles have been published in this area, this book is a pacesetter for the existing state-of-the-art research in this field. The contributing authors represent all groups in the United States who are working in this specific area, which is expected to grow significantly as more academic centers acquire the necessary equipment and trained personnel. This book is immensely valuable as a scientific body of knowledge and will serve as an excellent reference and research guide.
