内容説明

Is definitive understanding of schizophrenia as a brain disease just around the corner? This book synthesizes twenty years of research into diverse fields such as the symptoms, biology, and neurochemistry of schizophrenia, exploring theories of the disease and possibilities for future research. In fact, it seems that schizophrenia patients differ from healthy people more in their cognition than in their biology, an understanding of which will revolutionize both neuroscience and psychiatry.
