Once considered largely untreatable, neurologic disorders have become a frontier for breakthrough research in pharmacology. This text discusses the latest investigational strategies and theories and how they affect current clinical practice. The book details the mechanisms, delivery systems, and efficacy of the latest medication, as the editors outline a "method" for thinking about the action of clinically useful drugs, based on modern information about kinetics, transport to the brain, interaction with neurotransmitter systems and membrane action. All types of major neurologic disorders are discussed.
