Epigenetic Mechanisms in Brain Physiology and Disorders

Editat de Moshe Szyf, Zsofia Nemoda
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2026
Epigenetic Mechanisms in Brain Physiology and Disorders provides a comprehensive summary of epigenetic mechanisms in brain development, from embryogenesis to aging, brain physiology and pathology. It discusses the role DNA methylation plays in regulating genomic functions, which in turn guide brain function. The book explores the epigenetic role in cell type differentiation, epigenetic processes in memory, learning, and neuronal functioning, the role of DNA methylation and other epigenetic mechanisms in sleep, feeding and metabolic control, sex, temperature regulation, and cardiovascular and blood pressure regulation. It further explores the role of epigenetic processes in neuropsychiatry disorders, neurological disease and behavioral disorders, as well as epigenetic diagnostics and therapeutics.


  • Summarizes the role of epigenetics in neurological and psychiatric disorders
  • Includes brain physiology and pathology
  • Covers epigenetic processes in memory, learning, sleep, and regulation of other body functions
  • Explores potential future roles in diagnostics and therapeutics
