The Postmortem Brain in Psychiatric Research

The Postmortem Brain in Psychiatric Research edited by Galila Agam, Ian P. Everall, Robert Haim Belmaker.

Because of the dearth of experimental animal models of psychiatric disorders, the study of the effect of the disease state is only possible in tissue derived from patients vs. controls, especially in the target tissue of disease-related changes in the brain. The human postmortem brain offers the mos...
