Description
(Short description)
Mit 38 Substanzen und Substanzgruppen behandelt das Buch sämtliche Neurotransmitter sowie die Mehrzahl der Neuromodulatoren. Für jede behandelte neuroaktive Substanz erhält der Leser umfassende Angaben zu Biosynthese, Degradation, Vorkommen im zentralen Nervensystem, Rezeptoren, Signaltransduktionswegen und biologischen Wirkungen. Einführende Kapitel zu den Grundlagen und Methoden machen dieses Buch zu einem wertvollen neurowissenschaftlichen Nachschlagewerk für Forscher, Dozenten und Studenten in den Bereichen Molekularbiologie, Biochemie, Medizin, Pharmakologie und Physiologie.
