CNS Neurotransmitters and Neuromodulators, Volume 3CNS Neurotransmitters and Neuromodulators: Dopamine is an indispensable single-volume resource for any researcher involved with dopamine in the central nervous system (CNS). Part of the CNS Neurotransmitters and Neuromodulators Series, it is destined to be the definitive reference work on this topic. This book is comprised of independently authored chapters dealing with biochemistry, molecular biology and localization of dopamine receptors and transporters, receptor interactions, growth factors, new antipsychotic drugs, and the neuroendocrinal and retinal functions of dopamine. The authors, an international group of well-known researchers from varied disciplines, have utilized the most up-to-date material in preparing their reviews. CNS Neurotransmitters and Neuromodulators: Dopamine is the perfect source for established researchers seeking the latest information or for students requiring an in-depth one-step introduction. |
