Description

This volume is devoted to the pharmacology and psychopharmacology of these compounds. The chapters provide a contemporary overview of topics ranging from receptor models developed to explain the neuronal effects of BZR inverse agonists, to the cognitive effects of particular inverse agonists in humans. The work integrates basic receptor-related research, animal behaviour pharmacology and human psychopharmacological studies to provide a complete overview of the topic.
