GAIN A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO HUMAN NEUROLOGIC DISORDERS

Molecular Neuropharmacology first reviews the fundamental biochemistry of the functioning nervous system and then describes how nerve cells communicate with one another through numerous types of neurotransmitters involving amino acids, monoamines, neuropeptides, and neurotrophic factors, among several others.

The neuropharmacology and neural circuits that underlie complex behaviors as well as major neural disorders are also discussed as are the drugs used to treat those conditions. In the final section, the authors use the concepts presented in the first two sections to explainhow irregularities in the biochemistry of neuronal interactions can lead to a wide array of clinical manifestations.

FEATURES

  • NEW chapter on neuroinflammation
  • All chemical structure illustrations have been redrawn and improved
  • Fully updated to reflect the latest breakthroughs and new drugs
  • The most well-written and easily understood work on the subject
  • More than 300 full-color illustrations!

Steven E. Hyman, MD is Provost of Harvard University and Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. From 1996 to 2001, he served as Director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the component of the US National Institutes of Health charged with generating the knowledge needed to understand and treat mental illness. Before serving as Director of NIMH, Dr. Hyman was Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Director of Psychiatry Research at Massachusetts General Hospital , and the first faculty Director of Harvard University's Mind, Brain, and Behavior Initiative. In the laboratory he studied the molecular biology of neurotransmitter action. Dr. Hyman is a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is currently serves as Editor of the Annual Review of Neuroscience. He received his BA from Yale College in 1974 summa cum laude, and his MA from the University of Cambridge in 1976, which he attended as a Mellon fellow studying the history and philosophy of science. He earned his MD from Harvard Medical School in 1980.

Robert C. Malenka, MD, PhD is Pritzker Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies and an Associate of the Neurosciences Research Program. He has won several awards including the International Prize in Neuroscience, the Distinguished Alumni Award from Stanford University and the Daniel Efron Award from the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology. A major goal of his laboratory is to elucidate both the specific molecular events that are responsible for the triggering of these various forms of synaptic plasticity and the exact modifications in synaptic proteins that are responsible for the observed, long-lasting changes in synaptic efficacy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pharmacology and neurobiology
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2018

This text book provides the underpinning in Neuropharmacology. If you do not have a strong backdrop in the field this text book will be helpful. In addition, it presents the information in an unequivocal way; easlily understood.
The first few chapters are introduction in molecular neurobiology (what are neurons, glis, synapse, etc), the signaling pathways, gene expression following neuronal activity, so on.
Then it dictates a chapter for each neurotransmitter.
The last section is for neurlogical disease (application of what is explained in the first two sections).
This textbook was my reference while taking the comprehensive exam for the graduate school.

5.0 out of 5 stars the book reads easily, explains concepts well
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016

I bought this book not for a course or exam, but to answer some specific questions. As a clinical physician I thought it would be a reference text only. Now I find I can't put it down and have started to read it all the way through. Although dense with information in nearly every sentence, the book reads easily, explains concepts well, and is worth every penny twice over. I highly recommend this to anyone in medicine or pharmacology. I only wish it was available when I was a student.

Tbh this is the only textbook i’ve ever actually enjoyed reading. It is a paperback so you may want to cover it if you plan on carrying it around everywhere, the front cover of mine has bent in several places from going in and out of my backpack.

One of the best textbooks I own. I usually rent texts for courses and send them back at the end of semesters, but this is one I'm happy to have bought. An excellent introduction to the building blocks of the brain and their clinical significance.

A comprehensive and visually attractive guide to the pharmacology of the nervous system. This particular edition is a bit flimsy, and must be handled with care. A part form that, is a must for neuroscientists.
