Description
This volume presents the proceedings of a recent meeting organized by the Association Internationale pour la Recherche et l'enseignement en Neurosciences (AIREN) and co-sponsored with the World Health Organization (WHO). An international, multidisciplinary group of experts reviews the latest findings on the biology of dopaminergic neurotransmission and the role of dopamine in the pathophysiology and treatment of disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, dysthymia, and motor diseases. The book integrates current knowledge on dopaminergic function from diverse areas of basic science and clinical research, including molecular biology, transgenic studies, biochemistry, genetics, brain imaging, neurology, and psychiatry
