Depression will be the single biggest cause of disability worldwide, in the next 20 years. But treatment for it has not changed much in the last three decades. In the realm of psychiatry, time has apparently stood still... until now.In this game-changing book, Professor Edward Bullmore reveals the breakthrough new science on the link between mental depression and physical inflammation. He explains how and why mental disorders can have their roots in the immune system and explores a whole new way of looking at how mind, brain and body all work together in a sometimes misguided effort to help us survive in a hostile world.

A radical new approach to depression

Sind Depressionen heilbar? Mit einem radikal neuen Ansatz öffnet Cambridge Professor Edward Bullmore den Blick für den Zusammenhang von Depressionen und Entzündungen in Körper und Gehirn. Leicht verständlich erklärt er, warum psychische Erkrankungen nicht im Kopf entstehen, sondern infolge von Entzündungen im Körper auftreten. »Die entzündete Seele« zeigt anschaulich, wie das Nervensystem und das Gehirn mit unserem Immunsystem zusammenwirken, und was passiert, wenn dabei etwas schief läuft. Bullmore führt aus, was die moderne Medizin lange unbeachtet ließ: Wird die Infektion im Körper behandelt und geheilt, kann auch die Seele wieder gesund werden.

Fundamentals of Brain Network Analysis is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to methods for unraveling the extraordinary complexity of neuronal connectivity. From the perspective of graph theory and network science, this book introduces, motivates and explains techniques for modeling brain networks as graphs of nodes connected by edges, and covers a diverse array of measures for quantifying their topological and spatial organization. It builds intuition for key concepts and methods by illustrating how they can be practically applied in diverse areas of neuroscience, ranging from the analysis of synaptic networks in the nematode worm to the characterization of large-scale human brain networks constructed with magnetic resonance imaging. This text is ideally suited to neuroscientists wanting to develop expertise in the rapidly developing field of neural connectomics, and to physical and computational scientists wanting to understand how these quantitative methods can be used to understand brain organization. Extensively illustrated throughout by graphical representations of key mathematical concepts and their practical applications to analyses of nervous systems Comprehensively covers graph theoretical analyses of structural and functional brain networks, from microscopic to macroscopic scales, using examples based on a wide variety of experimental methods in neuroscience Designed to inform and empower scientists at all levels of experience, and from any specialist background, wanting to use modern methods of network science to understand the organization of the brain
