Epigenetics In Psychiatry by Jacob Peedicayil, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Epigenetics in Psychiatry, Second Editioncovers all major areas of psychiatry in which extensive epigenetic research has been performed, fully encompassing a diverse and maturing field, including drug addiction, bipolar disorder, epidemiology, cognitive disorders, and the uses of putative epigenetic-based psychotropic drugs. Uniquely, each chapter correlates epigenetics with relevant advances across genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. The book acts as a catalyst for further research in this growing area of psychiatry. This new edition has been fully revised to address recent advances in epigenetic understanding of psychiatric disorders, evoking data consortia (e. g., CommonMind, ATAC-seq), single cell analysis, and epigenome-wide association studies to empower new research. The book also examines epigenetic effects of the microbiome on psychiatric disorders, and the use of neuroimaging in studying the role of epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression. Ongoing advances in epigenetic therapy are explored in-depth. Fully revised to discuss new areas of research across neuronal stem cells, cognitive disorders, and transgenerational epigenetics in psychiatric diseaseRelates broad advances in psychiatric epigenetics to a modern understanding of the genome, transcriptome, and proteinsCatalyzes knowledge discovery in both basic epigenetic biology and epigenetic targets for drug discoveryProvides guidance in research methods and protocols, as well how to employ data from consortia, single cell analysis, and epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS)Features chapter contributions from international leaders in the field | Epigenetics In Psychiatry by Jacob Peedicayil, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
