Brave New Brain is a travel guide to the future. Scientists are presently mapping both the terrain of the brain and the geography of the genome. Psychiatry has joined them on a quest to conquer mental illnesses--those illnesses that strike the most human part of our bodies, our brains and minds.

It explains the nature of mental illness and genome and brain mapping, using clear simple language, interesting case histories, and extensive illustrations |
