If a death is suspicious, an autopsy of the body is performed with the intent of determining the cause and manner of death. A death investigation begins with body examination and evidence collection at the scene and proceeds through history, postmortem examination and autopsy, laboratory tests, and determining the cause and manner of death. This book provides a comprehensive overview of postmortem examination and autopsy, the steps involved, and what the results of the examination can tell us.

Mental disorders can result from disruption of neuronal circuitry, damage to the neuronal and non-neuronal cells, altered circuitry in the different regions of the brain and any changes in the permeability of the blood brain barrier. Early identification of these impairments through investigative means could help to improve the outcome for many brain and behaviour disease states. The chapters in this book describe how these abnormalities can lead to neurological and mental diseases such as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), anxiety disorders, Alzheimer's disease and personality and eating disorders. Psycho-social traumas, especially during childhood, increase the incidence of amnesia and transient global amnesia, leading to the temporary inability to create new memories.Early detection of these disorders could benefit many complex diseases such as schizophrenia and depression.
