Neuroprotection is a novel perspective for the treatment of disorders that lead to neurodegeneration and disabilities as a result of deterioration of neurons due to apoptosis, oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and other mechanisms. These mechanisms have implications not only for neurodegenerative disorders, but also for schizophrenia, mood and cognitive disorders. The purpose of this book is to provide an up-to-date overview of basic and clinical studies concerning the neuroprotective approach, mechanisms, and several compounds with neuroprotective properties that may contribute to more...

Acetylcholinesterase? Hypogeusie? Zytosol? Die Biopsychologie ist ein extrem spannendes Fach und wahrscheinlich auch das Fachgebiet mit den meisten Fachbegriffen.

Schwerpunkt dabei: Einfache und verstandliche Begriffsdefinitionen, so genau wie notig, so einfach wie moglich....

Originally published in 1960, the two volumes of Experiments in Personality report a number of experiments in psychogenetics, psychopharmacology, psychodiagnostics, psychometrics and psychodynamics, all of which formed part of the programme of research which had been developing from the late 1940s at the Maudsley Hospital.

The decision was deliberate because all the studies reported formed part of a larger...

How is speech produced and understood in the context of everyday communication?

First published in 1975, this book is considered one the best of the early books in this field. The task of psycholinguistics is to discover how people produce and comprehend speech.

The authors tried to capture the flavour of this approach to the psychology of language by describing the major contemporary issues, problems, and phenomena, of the time, being dealt with in laboratories and in field...
