For the past four decades, University College London has offered a renowned course on receptor pharmacology. Originating from this course, the perennially bestselling Textbook of Receptor Pharmacology has presented in-depth coverage of this rapidly expanding area of research. This third edition continues to combine current understanding of classica
The bestselling first edition of Textbook of Receptor Pharmacology originated from a renowned course in receptor pharmacology taught at the University College of London for the past three decades. Its innovative format united four major approaches to the study of receptors: molecular biology, quantitative functional studies of agonists and antagonists, ligand binding, and signal transduction systems. The second edition builds on this foundation. This edition streamlines the material and focuses on cell membrane receptors along with their immediate signal transducers. The section on the molecular structure of receptors reflects the advances in this area. This edition also includes two restruc...
The basal ganglia are involved in complex brain functions, from voluntary movement control to learning and reward processing, and they are implicated in numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders. Information from the cerebral cortex and thalamus is conveyed to basal ganglia nuclei via glutamate release, while dopamine from the midbrain is rel
For the past four decades, University College London has offered a renowned course on receptor pharmacology. Originating from this course, the perennially bestselling Textbook of Receptor Pharmacology has presented in-depth coverage of this rapidly expanding area of research. This third edition continues to combine current understanding of classical quantitative pharmacology and drug-receptor interactions with the basics of receptor structure and signal transduction mechanisms, providing an integrated analysis of the mechanisms of drug action at membrane receptors. The hallmark of this popular text is the uniting of four major approaches to the study of receptors: Molecular investigation of ...

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.
This new edition aims to introduce students to the mechanisms of action of drugs and the approaches adopted in designing new drugs. It also contains chapters on individual successful drugs written by their discoverers or developers, tracing their history to the present day.
