Molecular Neuropharmacology: A Foundation for Clinical Neuroscience, Fourth Edition Eric Nestler, Steven Hyman, and Paul J. Kenny is an English-language reference work that focuses on molecular neuropharmacology. This textbook provides an in-depth analysis of the neuropharmacological basis of neurological and psychiatric disorders. It is intended for readers who want to deepen their understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
The fourth edition has been fully updated with the latest scientific insights and medications. The overview covers general principles of neuropharmacology, functions of the nervous system, and the effects of drugs on neuronal and glial functions. In addition, important neurotransmitter systems and atypical messengers such as peptides and growth factors are discussed extensively. The book includes clear tables, diagrams, and figures that make complex molecular processes easier to understand.
This textbook is an indispensable resource for professionals and students working in neurology, psychiatry, and pharmacy, who want to familiarize themselves with the molecular aspects of neuropharmacology and the pharmacotherapeutic approaches within these disciplines.
