Neurotransmitters, Drugs and Brain Function aims to link basicaspects of the activity of neurotransmitters at the receptor andsynaptic level with their role in normal brain function, diseasestates, and drug action. Thus, the material considers to whatextent our knowledge of the central synaptic action of certaindrugs can explain their possible roles in the cause of diseases andin the modes of action of drugs effective in thoseconditions. It offers a working explanation of drug and neurotransmitter actionin CNS function, with a clear, comprehensive, and challenging styleof writing. The authors review the chemical basis for drugs and theconditions they treat. It also, includes numerous illustrations andschematic diagrams.weiterlesen
