Featuring a unique approach, Nicotinic Receptors in the Nervous System provides integrated coverage of research on neuronal nicotinic systems relevant to smoking addiction and cognitive dysfunction. By bringing together molecular and neurochemical applications, the book provides the key to understanding function and dysfunction of nicotinic systems and how they are significant for disease, addiction, and the development of novel drug treatments. The book presents readers with the basic mechanistic background for these treatments as well as the functional assessment necessary to determine therapeutic effects.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Well known researchers from the Old and New Worlds contributed to this book...presents an integrated approach to nicotine research that should help to identify critical neuropharmacological mechanisms for both adverse and potentially therapeutic effects of nicotine. Edward Levine has contributed much to the development of nicotine research on cognitive functions."
