Uniquely, each chapter correlates epigenetics with relevant advances across genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. The book acts as a catalyst for further research in this potentially very important and useful area of psychiatry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe elucidation of basic principles of epigenetic biology points to the creation of more optimal and effective therapies for major classes of psychiatric disease. In this regard, epigenetic therapy, the use of drugs to correct epigenetic defects, may help in the pharmacotherapy of patients with these disorders. With time, such advances may eventually point to replacements for psychotropic drugs presently of symptomatic value and low efficacy. Moreover, there is evidence to suggest that other forms of treatment commonly used in the management of psychiatric disorders, like psychotherapy and electroconvulsive therapy, may also act by epigenetic mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapters review fascinating new areas of research across neuronal stem cells, cognitive disorders, and transgenerational epigenetics through drug addiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelates broad advances in psychiatric epigenetics to a modern understanding of the genome, transcriptome, and protein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalyzes knowledge discovery in both basic epigenetic biology and clinical application as epigenetic targets for drug discovery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078587695344,"sku":"9780124171343","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780124171343_p0.jpg?v=1763639029","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780124171343","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
