, CAMBRIDGE TEXTBOOK OF
Neuroscience for Psychiatrists
Published online by Cambridge University Press
, “Burgeoning neuroscience research and numerous advancements in psychopharmacology have made it a challenge for
a busy clinician to remain current in their knowledge base. Neuroscience for Psychiatrists provides a pithy and succinct
overview of a wide a rray of neuroscience topics relevant to a practicing clinician, ranging from neurotransmission, func-
tional neuroanatomy and genetics to a discussion of neuroplasticity. This comprehensive text, written by the leading
experts in the field, is intuitively organized and richly illustrated. It distils complex subject matter into information that
is easy to digest and remember. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to psychiatrists, residents in training or
any other advanced neuroscience enthusiasts.”

“Improving the treatment for our patients is based on a better understanding of neuroscience. The foundation of
evidence-based, rational, prescribing is built upon solid neuroscience knowledge. As this textbook clearly provides
both, it is a must for any psychiatrist who pursues to upgrade the treatment she/he provides to their patients.”

“The Cambridge Textbook of Neuroscience for Psychiatrists is truly a unique compendium of the neurobiological and
clinical bases of Psychiatry. It is a self-standing masterpiece for anyone interested understanding and deepening their
knowledge of psychiatric disorders without having to search various sources. It represents an up-to-date, comprehen-
sive, and scholarly representation of our current knowledge of Neuroscience relevant to Psychiatry. Furthermore, it is
superbly illustrated thereby facilitating a rapid grasp of the fundamental principles and concepts described in the text.
The editors realized a tour de force in gathering these outstanding contributions from such a group of experts in their
own field.”

“The editors have succeeded in developing an impressive textbook of neuroscience that speaks directly to psychiatrists.
Chapters on basic and translational neuroscience use language that is accessible to clinicians. Moreover, there are illus-
trations on nearly page to guide the reader through the most complex concepts in neuroscience. Although speaking
directly to psychiatrists, the authors manage to present complex concepts in areas that include receptor pharmacology,
genetics, neural circuits, and connectivity. Other chapters discuss the underlying neuroscience of basic functions such
as sleep, appetite, motivation, cognitive functions and social behaviours. This text is perfectly suited for neuroscience
courses for psychiatry training programs and it will also be valued by clinicians who are eager to understand the
underlying neuroscience of psychiatric disorders and their treatments.”
