Depression and Brain Dysfunction

This volume is a scholarly reference to published research results on
the neurobiology and neuroanatomy of depression and the association
of depression with disorders of the central nervous system. The book
reviews and discusses aspects of recent research on the underlying
mechanisms of depression, including neurotransmitter dysregulation,
hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis abnormalities, and cellular
resistance. Illustrated with tables, graphs, and charts, Depression
and Brain Dysfunction is the first book to include the recent
advances in functional neuroimaging of the structural and anatomical
defects in patients with significant symptoms of depression.
