The Bipolar Brain

Leading experts in neuroimaging and genetics discuss recent discoveries in bipolar disorder that identify the structural, functional, and chemical brain changes that seem to underlie this condition, as well as possible genetic causes of these brain events. This book is a resource to guide clinicians as they struggle to understand this illness and provides a new framework for understanding bipolar disorder in order to, ultimately, develop improved therapies for
affected individuals and novel strategies to prevent the onset in children at risk for this condition.
