Modeling Brains: The Making and Use of Animal Models in Neuroscience and Psychiatry

Modeling Brains: The Making and Use of Models in Neuroscience and Psychiatry, Volume 232, a new volume in the Progress of Brain Research series, explores the history and use of 3D models of the brain in research and teaching, the development of digital models and simulations of the brain and the development and use of animal models in neuroscience and psychiatry. This timely volume helps both scientists and students better understand the variety, strengths, weaknesses and applicability of models in neuroscience and psychiatry.
