Thus, the material considers to what extent our knowledge of the central synaptic action of certain drugs can explain their possible roles in the cause of diseases and in the modes of action of drugs effective in those conditions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It offers a working explanation of drug and neurotransmitter action in CNS function, with a clear, comprehensive, and challenging style of writing. The authors review the chemical basis for drugs and the conditions they treat. It also, includes numerous illustrations and schematic diagrams.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.\u003cbr\u003e \"Neurotransmitters, Drugs and Brain Function\" ist für Studenten und Forscher in den Bereichen Pharmakologie, Neurowissenschaft, Medizin und Psychologie von unschätzbarem Wert.
