It includes a comprehensive listing of links for many of the disorders we will study in this course.  However, many disorders are not covered. ADAA, the Anxiety Disorders Association of America. This website has some interesting information and links. The federal Department of Veterans' Affairs maintains a website on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This site includes an electronic database (called PILOTS) of references to all of the world's literature on PTSD, including a search engine, as well as 10 electronic publications on PTSD-related topics. The Whole Brain Atlas (http://www.med.harvard.edu:80/AANLIB/home.html) contains an extensive collection of brain scans, using MRI and Cerebral Blood Flow measures. Plates include normal and diseased brain tissue for all levels of the brain. Take a look at it to help you understand brain imaging techniques in chapter 4, and for schizophrenia and dementia in later chapters.
