Turn to the classic primer of molecular neuroscience for a complete understanding of nervous system function and it's relationship to human neurologic disordersMolecular Neuropharmacologyoffers a clear, thorough explanation of the molecular functioning of the nervous system in normal and disease states. More than three hundred concept-clarifying full-color illustrations along with didactic text boxes provide an in-depth understanding of nerve cell receptors, their effectors and second messenger targets, and the molecular genetics that are often impacted by these systems. You will also learn how malfunction of these molecular systems relates to human disease and the corresponding medical treatment.Molecular Neuropharmacologyis the most relevant, well-written resource available to help you make the connection between neuropharmacology and clinical neuroscience.FEATURES: Numerous figures and didactic boxes to help you understand and remember complex subject matter for efficient, on-the-spot review All-inclusive, high-yield coverage, including: The fundamentals of neuropharmacology Neural substrates of drug action The neuorpharmacology of specific functions and disorders-encompassing control of movement, mood and emotion, memory and dementia, and other vital areas NEW!
