Brain, Behavior and Epigenetics
Despite significant progress in molecular epigenetic research and its enormous potential, there are still considerable challenges to overcome before we can fully understand the role of epigenetic processes in brain function and behavior. For instance, wha

Preface by the Series Editors
Brain, Behaviour and Epigenetics is the second volume of a new Springer book series on Epigenetics and Human Health, edited by Robert Feil (University of Montpellier, France), Mario Noyer-Weidner (University of Berlin, Germany) and Jo¨rn Walter (University of Saarbru¨cken, Germany). With Arturas Petronis and Jonathan Mill the series has attracted two editors to this volume with a long-standing record in this emerging biomedical field. They both direct brain- and disease-oriented research programs at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto (Canada) and at the Kings College in London (UK), respectively. In the 14 chapters of their book they have gathered comprehensive articles ranging from basic molecular regulation in the brain to memory formation and psychiatric disorders. The series adds to Springer’s growing interest in the field of epigenetics and its many links to human health – both in the biological and clinic
