Molecular Neuropharmacology: A Foundation for Clinical Neuroscience, Fourth Edition

Nestler, Hyman, & Malenka’s Molecular Neuropharmacology is a comprehensive guide to treating neurologic and psychiatric disorders with drugs and other approaches.

Fully updated with the latest research and drugs, this fourth edition provides an in-depth look at the neuropharmacological fundamentals of the nervous system, delivering the knowledge and insight needed to master the pathophysiology of major neurological disorders.

With tables, diagrams, and figures illustrating the intricacies of neurochemistry and molecular neuroscience, this guide reviews the effects of drug action organized by drug category, enhancing understanding and retention of critical concepts.

The book covers general principles of neuropharmacology, nervous system function, drugs that act on neuronal and glial function, major neurotransmitter systems in the brain and spinal cord, atypical neurotransmitters, including peptides, growth factors, and cytokines, and major brain and spinal cord systems at the molecular, cellular, and circuit levels in health and disease.

Whether you're a student, researcher, or clinician, this definitive guide is essential for anyone seeking to understand the complex interplay between drugs and the nervous system.
