Functional Neuroimaging in Child Psychiatry 1st Edition

“…a comprehensive overview of the main issues in developmental functional neuroimaging…an interesting, informative and comprehensive textbook on the subject; worthwhile reading for the lay reader, the novice and the expert.” Katya Rubia, Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College, London, Cognitive Neuropsychiatry

“This large and very attractive volume lays out a blueprint for the future of child psychiatry.” Journal of Clinical Psychiatry

“This book will be of great use to doctors, researchers and teachers… This very clear, current and rigorous work brings psychiatry and neurology to its origins.” European Journal of Psychiatry

This book reviews the recent rapid development of functional neuroimaging techniques and their implications for child psychiatry. It is unique in that it focuses on children and integrates brain mapping with genetics and behavioral testing, an interface that is likely to become fundamental to functional neuroimaging. This invaluable reference will help clinicians and investigators to:

• Understand the mechanisms of childhood psychiatric disorders through imaging
• Decide the most appropriate technique for their purposes with respect to technology, experimental design, data analysis, and ethical considerations
• Appreciate the role of molecular genetics and neuropsychology in planning brain imaging studies. Set against an overview of normal behavioral and cognitive development, the text includes a description of new brain imaging strategies and the application of imaging techniques used on adults to children. Linking the latest findings from neuroimaging to neurophysiological models, this book is an essential resource for researchers and clinicians concerned with neurodevelopmental disorders.

This unprecedented book reviews the recent rapid development of functional neuroimaging techniques and their implications for child psychiatry. It is unique in its focus on children, and in integrating brain mapping with genetics and behavioral testing. Presenting new imaging techniques in language accessible to nonspecialists, it will help clinicians and investigators to understand, through imaging, the mechanisms of childhood psychiatric disorders and select the most appropriate imaging techniques. Linking the latest findings from neuroimaging to neurophysiological models, this is an essential resource for researchers and clinicians concerned with neurodevelopmental disorders.
