This book is the most current and innovative molecular neuropharmacolo gy text that presents a molecular and cellular approach to drugs that affect the central nervous system, brain function, and disease states within the nervous system. Written by three eminent academicians and clinicians in the field of psychiatry, this text integrates molecular, cellular, and physiological concepts with pharmacology and explores t he relevance of this model to disease and therapeutics. Topics such a s basic principles of neuropharmacology, signal transduction pathways in the brain, neural substrates of drug action (catecholamines, seroto nin, histamine, and acetylcholine), and neuropharmacology of specific neural functions and their disorders are discussed.
