Reviews

<p> This extraordinary book provides excellent and up-to-date information about the relationship between infectious and immunological aetiologies for major neuropsychiatric disorders in adulthood and infancy. It is of interest not only for neuropsychiatrists, neuropediatrists but also for basic neuroscientists, infectologists and immunologists. <p>K.A Jellinger, (European Journal of Neurology, Vol 13, Edition 18 2006)<p>'The book presents comprehensive updates in the field of neuropsychiatric diseases and is a real opportunity for the advanced student and interested scientist to learn more about the relationship between, infectious agents and neuropsychiatric disorders.' - Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy <p>
