Ethos, Bioethics, and Sexual Ethics in Work and Reception of the Anatomist Niels Stensen (1638-1686)
This book offers a unique and comprehensive outline of the ethos, the bioethics and the sexual ethics of the renowned anatomist and founder of modern geology, Niels Stensen (1638-1686).

Its devastating health consequences include hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, or diabetes and make obesity the second leading cause of unnecessary deaths in the USA. As a consequence, obesity has a strong negative impact on the public health care systems.

A multileveled gene–environment interaction appears to involve a substantial number of susceptibility genes, as well as associations with low physical activity levels and intake of high-calorie, lo...

Neurobiological Approaches to Human Disease

However, to incorporate these data into powerful models that will explain psychosomatic events, we must understand the basic biological system that underlies the connection between mind and body. This book addresses this point.

Biological Psychiatry
Biological psychology represents a fusion of several scientific disciplines - pharmacology, neurobiology, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, anatomy, biophysics and psychology. All are focussed on acquiring an ultimate understanding of the relationships between brain and behaviour. Presented in two volumes are the papers of the 5th World Congress of Biological Psychiatry. Together they represent a significant contribution to complementary advances across a broad front of recently developed research areas. Psychiatric disorders include schizophrenia, affective disorders, the many forms of senile and presenile dementia including Alzheimer's disease, the anxiety disorders, childhood disorders ...
