Product Description
Neurotransmitters, Drugs and Brain Function aims to link basic aspects of the activity of neurotransmitters at the receptor and synaptic level with their role in normal brain function, disease states, and drug action. Thus, the material considers to what extent our knowledge of the central synaptic action of certain drugs can explain their possible roles in the cause of diseases and in the modes of action of drugs effective in those conditions. It offers a working explanation of drug and neurotransmitter action in CNS function, with a clear, comprehensive, and challenging style of writing. The authors review the chemical basis for drugs and the conditions they treat. It also, includes numerous illustrations and schematic diagrams. |

comprehensive and clear by metapsycho (Spain) 5 Stars
March 13, 2005
This is the only sourcebook in the market that both explains in detail the action of neurotransmitters and considers the implication of that action on behaviour. Moreover it's a well written book worth the price.

| The Biochemical Basis of Neuropharmacology (Cooper, The Biochemical Basis of Neuropharmacology)
by Jack R. Cooper (Author), Floyd E. Bloom (Author), Robert H. Roth (Author)
Aside from the usual updating of material, the major change in this edition is an extensive rewriting of the chapter on memory and learning to emphasize that genes that are involved in behavior are not immutable but their expression can be modified by transcription factors. Thus, with respect to learning, that old question about which is more important, nature or nuture, genetics or environment, should be answered with the question, which leg is more important for walking, the left leg or the...
