Neuroinformatics (Methods in Molecular Biology)

edited by Chiquito J. Crasto, Ph.D., M.S., associate research scientist in neurobiology (Humana Press) This book describes advances in data sharing and the use of computational models in neuroscience. It provides expert summaries of specific computational models and simulations as well as approaches to data mining. The authors also discuss informatics representation and approaches to the structural complexity of the brain using a variety of both traditional and noninvasive imaging methods. The book’s final section considers the value of using neuroinformatics to understand such complex mental disorders as dementia, schizophrenia and Alzheimer disease.
