Description
Leading authorities examine the possible role of brain lipids in the development of conditions such as schizophrenia, depression, Alzheimer's
disease and personality disorders and violence. A better understanding of the underlying causes of these debilitating medical disorders
is of utmost importance and may contribute towards a means of prevention, amelioration and cure. The book is intended to stimulate further
interest and lead to increased research in this important development area.
