Systems Neuroscience in Depression provides a comprehensive overview of the normal and depressed brain processes as studied from a systems neuroscience perspective. Systems neuroscience uses a wide variety of approaches to study how networks of neurons form the bases of higher brain function. A broad overview is discussed starting with a background from neurodevelopment and neural understanding as well as novel treatment approaches for depression. This book covers basic developmental aspects and depressive psychopathology, as well as the basic scientific background from animal models and experimental research. Current advances in systems neuroscience are highlighted in studies from child and adolescent psychiatry. Integrated approaches are presented with regards to genetics, neuroimaging and neuroinflammation as well as neuroendocrinology. The field of systems and network neuroscience is evolving rapidly and this book provides a greatly needed resource for researchers and practitioners in systems neuroscience and psychiatry.

Dr. Thomas Frodl is currently Head of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany. He studied medicine at the Free University Berlin and the Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, where he received his Doctor of Medicine degree. His training to specialize in psychiatry and psychotherapy was at the Department of Psychiatry of Ludwig-Maximilians- University Munich, where he became consultant psychiatrist. Between 2008 and 2014 he was Professor and chair of clinical neuroimaging at the Department of Psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin within the international excellence program of Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and worked as consultant psychiatrist in the clinical services of the University Hospitals St. James´s and AMNCH-Tallaght. He is author of more than 130 original publications and received the Hormosan Scientific Award of the German Society of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Neurology and the Research Award of the German Society of Biological Psychiatry (in 2005 and 2006).
