Product Description
Endocannabinoids control most of the body functions, and in the brain, they modulate neurotransmission, synaptic plasticity, confer neuroprotection, control metabolism, neuro- and neuritogenesis, survival, cognitive and motor functions as well as a plethora of other higher-order brain functions. Their fruitful therapeutic potential is recognized by cannabinoid researchers and pharmaceutical companies, respectively. The aim of this book is to help clinicians, neuroscientists, as well as students, understand the significance of the endocannabinoid system. This book, however, also will be very useful to those who already feel comfortable with the neuroscience of endocannabinoids. The book will introduce the reader to the up-to-date neurobiology of endocannabinoids and related systems, and will detail their pathophysiological role and therapeutic potential. Authors involved in clinical investigations present results of recent clinical trials, and the development of new therapeutic strategies and medicines. |

Excellent source of information by S. Dickey (santa cruz, ca)  5 Stars
August 14, 2008
Very happy with this book. Contains so much information its hard to digest it at times. Very thorough yet readable to someone with minimal biochemistry and physiology experience. Highly recommended for those in search of important facts and clarification on cannabinoids and endocannabinoids.

Awesome. by R. Porter (1024 W. Port St) 5 Stars
May 02, 2008
I'm studying neurobiology and cannabis use as a hobby and have found this book to be exactly what I've been looking for. It is quite in-depth yet easy to understand. Part One is quite extensively detailed, while Part Two is a bit easier to follow.
