About the book
“Cognition Infection Genomics and Public Health Reports” is a sequel to the much appreciated “Selected Reports on Public Health Safety from the News journal Medicalnews”. It  also provides a compilation of popular reports from the newsjournal which exclusively deal with issues of cognition impairment, the default mode network, public genomics, infections and surveillance and their implication on public health safety. The completion of the Human Genome Project was a monumental milestone since genetic polymorphism influences risk for psychosocial events such as schizophrenia, major derpressive disorder and bipolar disorder. Important ground breaking biomedical research has shown unmediated depressed patients have an extended resting state of the default mode network involved in emotional processing resulting in inefficient cognitive task performance. Once again regulating such biomedical research involving the brain is of immense importance - unethical documented research on migraine by brain imaging – highlighting the importance of a strong regulatory mechanism on all biomedical research. The debate on biotechnology products such as transgenic crops and animals, genetically modified ingredients and recombinant therapeutic products continues inspite of important milestones achieved especially in the important area of ethics and regulation.

About the author
“Cognition Infection Genomics and Public Health Reports” is being published following the much appreciated book “Selected Reports on Public Health Safety From the News journal Medicalnews”.
