This popular primer provides a solid understanding of the nervous system, neurologic disorders, and treatments with drugs and other substances.
Nestler, Hyman, and Malenka's Molecular Neuropharmacology, Fourth Edition covers everything you need to know about molecular neuroscience. This meticulously detailed guide provides a deep dive into the pathophysiology of neurologic and psychiatric disorders by describing neuropharmacological fundamentals of the nervous system. Packed with tables, diagrams, and figures making the intricacies of neurochemistry easy to understand, it builds a solid understanding of major disease mechanisms by reviewing the effects of drug actions (organized by drug category), and it explains the neuropharmacology of specific neural and psychiatric disorders. Concise overviews of the effects of drugs and neurologically active substances appear before the descriptions of the minute details that lead to these effects-a format designed to boost understanding and knowledge retention of critical concepts.
