Looking for an up-to-date reference on the latest genetic methodologies in neurology and psychiatry research? Look no further than “Neurogenetics,” edited by Daniel H. Geschwind, Henry L. Paulson, and Christine Klein.

As genetics continues to revolutionize the medical field, researchers are discovering more and more neurological and psychiatric disorders that have roots in genetic markers. Since over 200 genes have been identified as directly causing or contributing to neurological disorders, there is ample opportunity for new discoveries and insights.

“Neurogenetics” is split into two parts. Part I covers basic genetic concepts, the science behind the recurring biological themes in neurogenetics, and introduces movement and neurodevelopmental disorders. Part II provides in-depth coverage of neurological and neuromuscular disorders, cerebrovascular disorders, and psychiatric disorders.

This is a comprehensive volume, providing both an introduction and a reference for neurologists and other health care practitioners interested in genetics. The science outlined in the chapters is authoritative and up to date, drawing on the latest research. The focus on genetics is a major strength of the book, as there are few works in print that provide such a deep dive into this evolving field.
