Sinossi

Neurotransmitter sind ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des zentralen Nervensystems, das Nervenimpulse zwischen Rezeptoren und Effektoren koordiniert. "Neurotransmitters, Drugs and Brain Function" stellt eine Verbindung her zwischen grundlegenden Aspekten der Aktivität von Neurotransmittern auf Rezeptor- und Synapsenebene und ihrer jeweiligen Funktion bei normaler Hirnfunktion, bei Erkrankungen und bei Drogeneinwirkung. Dieser Band untersucht, wie die zentrale synaptische Wirkung bestimmter Drogen auf die mögliche Beteiligung von Neurotransmittern bei der Entstehung von Krankheiten schließen lässt und wie die Wirkungsweise von Medikamenten bei solchen Erkrankungen erklärt werden kann.
"Neurotransmitters, Drugs and Brain Function" ist für Studenten und Forscher in den Bereichen Pharmakologie, Neurowissenschaft, Medizin und Psychologie von unschätzbarem Wert.

Informazioni sull?autore

Roy Webster is the editor of Neurotransmitters, Drugs and Brain Function, published by Wiley.

Dalla quarta di copertina

This book aims to cover the role of neurotransmitters, the substances released form neurons to act on neurons. It covers what they do, how they do it and how their activity is involved in brain function and affected by drugs and disease.

The contents include:
* An overview of neurotransmitter function including their release, effects on neuronal excitability and receptor interaction

* Detailed description of the synaptic physiology, pharmacology and possible brain function of each neurotransmitter with particular emphasis on acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA, noradrenaline, dopamine, 5 hydroxytryptamine and the peptides, purines, histamine, steroids and nitric oxide

* An evaluation on how the different neurotransmitters may be involved in the initiation and maintenance of certain brain disorders such as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and dementia

* A review of neurotransmitters in sleep and consciousness and in the social problems of drugs and abuse
Neurotransmitters, Drugs and Brain Function provides insights that will prove invaluable to students and researchers involved in pharmacology, neuroscience, medicine and psychology.
