Synopsis

For the Sixth Edition of this widely used text, the authors have added a new chapter on memory and learning and have reorganized the material on catecholamines into separate chapters on norepinephrine and epinephrine, and dopamine. In addition, they have included much new information on G proteins and second messengers, excitatory amino acid receptors, and other timely issues. As in the past, this book will be extremely valuable to students and professionals at many different levels: undergraduates studying psychopharmacology or neurobiology, medical students, graduate students in pharmacology and neuroscience, neuroscientists and residents and practitioners in neurology and psychiatry.
