Application of Nanoparticles in Psychophysiology and Psychiatry Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the past two decades, rapid development of nanomedicine has offered new opportunities in designing and evaluating novel treatment strategies for several neurological and psychiatric diseases. Application of nanomaterials as drug carriers in psychiatry has potentially numerous advantages, primarily in terms of the increased therapeutic efficiency of the medicament, and reduction of toxicity. Several research efforts have already been focused on the synthesis of antipsychotic and antidepressant nano-based drug delivery systems. Many of these nanoparticle systems have been successfully tested both in in vitro conditions and on animal experimental models. This short review presents and discusses recent discoveries in the emerging field of nanopsychiatry.

Empirical basis and forensic application of affective and predatory violence.
The objective of this paper is to address the empirical basis and forensic application of a bimodal theory of violence. The definitions of affective and predatory violence, the relevant animal and clinical research, and the current empirical evidence in neurochemistry, neuropsychology and psychophysiology are reviewed. Forensic evidence for the relevance of this bimodal theory is investigated. ...
متن کاملPerinatal Medicine: Clinical and Biochemical Aspects
The psychophysiology of anxiety, psychopathy, alcoholism, aggression, and braindamage is addressed. Interestingly, a developmental connection between psychopathy and a subset of the children making up the hyperactive child syndrome is suggested since these two disorders appear to have similar psychophysiological correlates. In the study of aggression, a biochemical variable of importance is the...
