Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this authoritative work synthesizes the rapidly growing knowledge base on the human frontal lobes and their central role in behavior, cognition, health, and disease. Leading contributors address neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, and normal neuropsychological functioning, and describe the nature and consequences of frontal lobe dysfunction in specific neurological and psychiatric conditions. Second edition features include a new section on structural and functional neuroimaging and substantially expanded coverage of frontotemporal dementia and related disorders. Other new topics include self-consciousness, competence, and personality; new testing approaches; bipolar disorder; and adult-onset genetic disorders of the frontal lobes. The book is illustrated with nearly 100 figures.

"Alzheimer's Disease Drug Development: A Research and Development Ecosystem captures the complexity of Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug develop and provides a comprehensive set of perspectives from the many stakeholders involved in discovering and developing new therapies for AD. There is no greater unmet therapeutic need for humanity than effective therapies for brain disorders. The suffering caused by these conditions and other neurodegenerative disorders is overwhelming and is burdened with substantial stigma. Therefore, I have devoted my professional life to changing the way brain disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, AD, among others are not only treated, but also viewed by society. From my time with the National Institutes of Health, Janssen and Johnson & Johnson where I serve as the Global Head of Science for Minds, my colleagues and I recognize there is still much to uncover about brain disorders due to the rich complexity of the brain and the challenges in accessing it. But that is not a reason to stop - especially as we enter the golden age of neuroscience, driven largely by scientific breakthroughs and accelerated regulatory pathways"--

Alzheimer's Disease Drug Development

An essential update of recent clinical trials in the management of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Progress in Neurotherapeutics and Neuropsychopharmacology: Volume 3, 2008

"Subject Areas/Keywords: brains, cognitive, diseases, dysfunctions, executive functions, frontal-subcortical circuits, frontotemporal dementia, human frontal lobes, lesions, mental disorders, networks, neuroanatomy, neurological, neurology, neuronal pathways, neuropsychiatric disorders, neuropsychological assessments, neuropsychology, neuroscience, normal aging, prefrontal cortex DESCRIPTION This authoritative work, now thoroughly revised, has given thousands of clinicians, students, and researchers a state-of-the-art understanding of the human frontal lobes--the large brain region that plays a critical role in behavior, cognition, health, and disease. Leading authorities from multiple disciplines address the anatomy and chemistry of the frontal cortex, neuropsychological assessments of capabilities unique to the frontal lobes, the nature of (and possible treatment avenues for) frontotemporal dementia and related conditions, and implications for understanding and treating neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, mania, and depression. Illustrations include eight pages in full color"--
