In Mood Genes, leading psychiatrist and biological researcher Samuel B arondes answers these questions in a way that renders a complex subjec t both exciting and understandable. Focusing on manic depressive illne ss, which affects about one percent of the population and has long bee n known to run in families, Barondes describes the fascinating hunt fo r genes--called mood genes--that influence the inherited vulnerability to severe mood disorders. He builds the compelling story of this hunt on the histories of two families riddled with manic-depression, expla ining what it means to have an inherited predisposition to a severe mo od disorder, how to find the mood genes that are responsible, and what will happen as mood genes are found.

Bipolar disorder affects approximately 1-2% of the world's population. The 'gold standard' medication to treat this disorder is the mood stabiliser lithium. Despite being in use for over 60 years, the mechanism of action of lithium is still not well understood, and only shows full efficacy in a third of patients. Understanding how lithium functions would aid our understanding of bipolar disorder and help design new treatments for the condition. This research project describes a method to identify and confirm genes involved in the lithium pathway. Gene identification is first performed by gene trapping, which identifies genes which are potentially involved in the pathway. Then confirmation of gene involvement was undertaken using the bacterial immune system CRISPR - a nuclease-based approach to downregulate a target gene. Before this could be achieved, the plasmid components of the CRISPR system had to be produced through genetic engineering. The solute carrier SLC25A40 was identified from the gene trapping stage. Additionally, a functional CRISPR system was successfully created and used to investigate a gene known to be involved in the lithium pathway - inositol monophospatase. A final experiment was undertaken to evaluate the brain and subcellular distribution of another gene, LPHN2, identified in a screen for genes resistant to a second mood stabiliser, valproate. My project has developed research tools that permit the molecular investigation of biological processes and pathways. Indeed, these tools are already being applied by others in the Institute to explore bacterial infection of mammalian cells. The studies on mood stabilisers indicate that genetic approaches can help better understand the actions of drugs and disease.

With recent studies using genetic, epigenetic, and other molecular and neurochemical approaches, a new era has begun in understanding pathophysiology of suicide. Emerging evidence suggests that neurobiological factors are not only critical in providing potential risk factors but also provide a promising approach to develop more effective treatment and prevention strategies. The Neurobiological Basis of Suicide discusses the most recent findings in suicide neurobiology. Psychological, psychosocial, and cultural factors are important in determining the risk factors for suicide; however, they offer weak prediction and can be of little clinical use. Interestingly, cognitive characteristics are different among depressed suicidal and depressed nonsuicidal subjects, and could be involved in the development of suicidal behavior. The characterization of the neurobiological basis of suicide is in delineating the risk factors associated with suicide. The Neurobiological Basis of Suicide focuses on how and why these neurobiological factors are crucial in the pathogenic mechanisms of suicidal behavior and how these findings can be transformed into potential therapeutic applications.
