Synopsis

This comprehensive volume updates coverage on the NMDA receptor - an important protein in the brain involved in the electrical and chemical processes which may underlie learning and memory. These receptors are also thought to contribute to, for example, stroke-induced brain damage and Alzheimer's disease, and so there is considerable interest in drug development based on the NMDA receptor. Each chapter includes the most recent developments, and is written by leading experts in the field. The book should be of interest to neuroscientists, pharmacologists and physiologists all the way through from senior undergraduate to principal investigators.

About this title

Review

From reviews of the 1st edition:"a welcome text providing a wealth of up-to-date detail for a modest price. Not only the chemical and neuropharmaoological, but also the physiological, clinical neurological and neuropsychological aspects of the NMDA receptor are lucidly and succinctly dealt with. . . Unreservedly recommended reading." Journal of the Neurological Sciences

. . . just the book to recommend to all final-year undergraduates in the neurosciences, to postgraduate researchers in psycho-pharmacology and to all those psychiatrists wishing to keep abreast of the complex but fascinating field of neurotransmission in the mammalian brain. (Human Psychopharmacology)
