Publisher's Noteguaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.TO HUMAN NEUROLOGIC DISORDERSMolecular Neuropharmacology first reviews the fundamental biochemistry of the functioning nervous system and then describes how nerve cells communicate with one another through numerous types of neurotransmitters involving amino acids, monoamines, neuropeptides, and neurotrophic factors, among several others.The neuropharmacology and neural circuits that underlie complex behaviors as well as major neural disorders are also discussed as are the drugs used to treat those conditions. In the final section, the authors use the concepts presented in the first two sections to explainhow irregularities in the biochemistry of neuronal interactions can lead to a wide array of clinical manifestations.FEATURESNEW chapter on neuroinflammationAll chemical structure illustrations have been redrawn and improvedFully updated to reflect the latest breakthroughs and new drugsThe most well-written and easily understood work on the subjectMore than 300 full-color illustrations!
