Their contributions to Neurobiology of Panic Disorder offer such necessarily varied perspectives. Featuring vital data obtained over the last five years, this informative volume covers the neurobiological aspects of panic disorder, with an emphasis on mechanistic and preclinical studies. Contributions include a wide range of pertinent topics such as preclinical studies of brain systems involved in anxiety, familial and genetic marker studies, potential childhood antecedents of panic disorder, and animal models of anxiety. In addition, an examination of the noradrenergic system, viewpoints on the pathogenesis, pathophysiology and treatment potential of the serotonin system, and coverage of commonly used brain imaging techniques in research and clinical evaluation are included in the text.
