Concise Guide to Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology (Concise Guides), 3e (May 27, 2022)_(1615374094)_(American Psychiatric Publishing)

"This third edition of this popular pocket guide is updated throughout, featuring new medications and new diagnostic procedures and criteria. Like the previous editions, it presents brief synopses of the major neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral syndromes, discusses their clinical assessment, and provides guidelines for management. The authors summarize diagnostic and treatment information in easy-to-read tables, including clinical features, underlying pathophysiology, and treatment options for the major neuropsychiatric disorders. They cover everything from assessment (e.g., testing, brain imaging) and relevant neurophysiology and neuropsychiatry symptoms and syndromes (e.g., frontal lobe, aphasia and related syndromes) to individual diseases (e.g., right-brain disorders, memory disorders, epilepsy/limbic system disorders, dementia and delirium, movement disorders, stroke and brain tumors, white matter diseases and inborn errors of metabolism, and head injury) and the latest treatments (e.g., neuropsychopharmacology, electroconvulsive therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, and neurosurgical procedures). An immediately useful clinical companion for psychiatrists and geriatric psychiatrists, neurologists, and neuropsychologists both within the U.S. and abroad, this volume is also exceptionally practical for students and residents because of its broad scope and easily accessible information"-- Provided by publisher Cover Title Copyright Contents List of Figures List of Tables Contributors Preface Acknowledgment 1 Neuropsychiatric Assessment 2 Behavioral Neurobiology NEUROANATOMY, NEUROPHYSIOLOGY, AND NEUROCHEMISTRY ESSENTIAL NEUROANATOMY Limbic System TABLE 2–1. Neuroreceptors of clinical relevance TABLE 2–2. Some neurotransmitters TABLE 2–3. Limbic system FIGURE 2–1. Major limbic system structures in medial view. FIGURE 2–2. Frontal-subcortical circuits. Basal Ganglia Reticular Activating System Cerebral Cortex FIGURE 2–3. Anatomical areas as depicted by Brodmann.Main anatomic areas to note are the 1, 2, and 3=primary somatosensory areas; 4=primary motor cortex; 6=premotor area; 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 45, 46, and 47=prefrontal granular cortex; 17=visual cortex; 22=superior temporal gyrus; 23, 24, 31, and 33=cingulate gyrus; 27, 28, and 34=parahippocampal gyrus; 38=temporal pole; 39 and 40=inferior parietal lobule; and 41 and 42= auditory cortex (Heschl’s gyri). FIGURE 2–4. Default network of the human brain.The cerebral cortex can be parcellated in functional-anatomical networks that show cooperative, correlated activity at rest, during tasks, and even in deep sleep when consciousness is absent. The default network (shown in white) consists of many regions distributed throughout the brain. The major nodes of the network are labeled. Abnormal activity and connectivity of the default network plays an important role in various neuropsychiatric diseases. Cerebellum TABLE 2–4. Some brain-behavior associations BRAIN-BEHAVIOR RELATIONSHIPS FIGURE 2–5. Sensory homunculus in the human brain.The postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe contains the primary sensory cortex, where body sensations are first processed in the cerebral cortex. Directly applying electrical stimulation to the cortical surface in neurosurgical patients revealed that larger areas of cortex are dedicated to processing information from the most sensitive parts of the body, such as the face, hands, and fingers.

For nearly 30 years, the Concise Guide to Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology has been an indispensable companion for clinicians caring for patients struggling with everything from delusions and hallucinations to aphasia and stroke.

This third edition combines all of the scientific rigor of its predecessors with a renewed emphasis on kind, empathetic care. It has been updated to account for the development of new techniques in brain imaging; improvement in electrophysiological methods to better detect epilepsy and sleep disorders; and a growing list of blood and spinal fluid biomarkers that have revolutionized diagnostic capability.

Readers will benefit from guidance on novel treatments and improved therapies for a range of disorders that includes • Memory disorders• Movement disorders• Brain tumors• Substance related disorders• HIV neurocognitive disorders

A wealth of tables throughout the book will help busy clinicians quickly reference relevant information, regardless of the patient's presentation. And an extensive list of recommended readings opens the door to further study.

As useful for trainees as it is for the experienced practitioner, the Concise Guide to Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology, Third Edition offers the latest science and expert guidance to both achieve accurate diagnosis and undertake effective management of patients with complex neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral disorders.
