The Molecular Neurobiology of Depression is a comprehensive reference covering the most up to date neurobiological evolution research in relation to suicide biology. This book explores the structural and functional traits of DNA, including non-coding DNA, in order to identify a genetic trigger of depression or suicidal behavior among individuals. This book intends to provide an in-depth perspective on the molecular footprints of the development of suicidal behavior of many individuals through case studies and an interdisciplinary approach.
