Description

This is a text on basic neuropharmacology. Its focus is on the neurotransmitters, or chemicals that carry nerve impulses between nerve cells. The text can be used in neuroscience and psychopharmacology courses at many different levels.

Table of Contents

  • Cellular foundations of neuropharmacology
  • molecular foundations of neuropharmacology
  • receptors
  • modulation of synaptic transmission
  • amino acid transmitters
  • acetylcholine
  • norepinephrine and epinephrine
  • dopamine
  • serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) and histamine
  • neuroactive peptides
  • cellular mechanisms in learning and memory
  • treating neurological and psychiatric diseases.

Description

In addition to updating each chapter and including a new discussion of the gaseous neuromodulators nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, the authors have dropped a formerly featured chapter on metabolism in the CNS and incorporated most of this material into a new chapter on the genetic basis of neurological and psychiatric diseases. With the almost bi-weekly discovery of genes that appear to be involved in diseases of the nervous system, this area has the potential for providing a revolutionary kind of therapy, and it has been accorded greater attention. This versatile text continues to be the first choice for basic neuropharmacology and neuroscience courses in medical schools and at the undergraduate level, pharmacy schools, graduate pharmacology programs, and residency programs in psychiatry and neurology.
