Description The re-emergence of neuropsychiatry in the 1980s occurred at the beginning of a period of tremendous growth in the neurosciences. With
structural neuroimaging (computerized tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance imaging) well established, the promise of functional neuroimaging
being realized, and an explosion of advances in neurogenetics and psychopharmacology, investigational tools to allow the study of brain
and behavior were becoming available. This issue provides a thorough review of the subspecialty of neuropsychiatry for the edification
of the practicing psychiatrist.
