Description
This book contains selected contributions of papers, many presented at the Second International Workshop on Neural Modeling of Brain Disorders,
as well as a few additional papers on related topics, including a wide range of presentations describing computational models of neurological,
neuropsychological and psychiatric disorders. It is a unique, comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art of modeling cognitive and
brain disorders, appealing to a multidisciplinary audience of clinicians, psychologists, neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, computer
scientists, and other neural network researchers.
The rest of the book is organized along four main themes, involving memory, neuropsychological,
neurological and psychiatric disorders. In general, the cognitive disorders and these psychiatric diseases traditionally regarded as
"functional" were modeled along functional lines, while those disorders traditionally viewed as "organic" neurological diseases generally
drew more from knowledge of the underlying neurobiology and pathophysiology.
