Description
Introduction to Neuropsychopharmacology expands at the molecular and cellular foundations of the classic Biochemical Basis of Neuropharmacology, Eighth Edition (Cooper, Bloom, and Roth) by now including the behavioral strategies used to review psychoactive drugs in experimental animals and in humans. Authored by four founders of up to date neuroscience, this concise and comprehensive text covers the present series of medicines used to regard diseases of the brain and nervous system–both psychiatric and neurologic–in addition to legal and illegal recreational drugs and the neuroscientific information that explains how these medications act at the brain from the molecular to the clinical level. The text ranges from drugs that impact the mood and behaviour to hypnotics, narcotics, anticonvulsants, and analgesics.
