This open access book provides an interdisciplinary perspective on energy metabolism in the brain and body in neuropsychiatric disorders and suggests future research directions.Multiple lines of evidence indicate that energy metabolism is aberrant in the body and brain in individuals with major neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders. Emerging therapeutic interventions aim to improve outcomes in many of these common and severe disorders. To foster interdisciplinary dialogue and to promote informed applications in research, medicine, and public health, the Ernst Strüngmann Forum convened scholars from diverse fields to examine the role of energy metabolism in brain function, the bidirectional association between metabolism in the brain and body, and the future therapeutic potential of treatment interventions that improve metabolism in people with psychiatric disorders.Synthesizing the interdisciplinary perspectives that emerged from these discussions, the book is organized in four sections:Role of Metabolism in Brain FunctionMetabolic Abnormalities in Neuropsychiatric DisordersSystemic Metabolic Aspects of Neuropsychiatric DisordersMetabolism-Based TherapiesThis volume offers insights to researchers and clinicians working in basic, translational, and clinical research in neurology and psychiatry pertinent to mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, human physiology, and treatment development.
