Molecular Basis of Neuropharmacology: A Foundation for Clinical Neuroscience - Tapa blanda

The most current and forward-looking molecular neuropharmacology text that explores the critical component in clinical neuroscience that pertains to the relationship of brain function and neuroactive chemicals brought about by molecular and cell biology. This innovative and cutting-edge book presents a molecular and cellular approach to drugs that affect the central nervous system, brain function, and disease states within the nervous system. Written by three eminent academicians and clinicians in the field of psychiatry, this text integrates molecular, cellular, and physiological concepts with pharmacology and explores the relevance of this model to disease and therapeutics. Topics such as basic principles of neuropharmacology, signal transduction pathways in the brain, neural substrates of drug action (catecholamines, serotonin, histamine, and acetylcholine), and neuropharmacology of specific neural functions and their disorders are discussed.
