New scientific data confirm the origin of neurotransmitters in the ancient ocean, whose inhabitants use the compounds in their relationships. One example is the algae Ulvaria, whose image is represented on the cover. During evolution, plant and microbial cells stored the neurotr…
Molecular neuropharmacology: strategies and methods
The ability to clone large numbers of receptors and transporters for neurotransmitters, and then to produce specific mutations of these proteins, has yielded significant understanding of their pharmacological and functional properties, with still deeper insight obtainable throug…
Schousboe, professor of pharmacology, and Brauner-Osborne, professor of medical chemistry, The Danish University of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Denmark, present contributions from leading neuroscience investigators combining advanced chemistry with molecular modeling to produce a c…
Exploring the diverse tools and technologies used to study synaptic processes, The Dynamic Synapse: Molecular Methods in Ionotropic Receptor Biology delineates techniques, methods, and conceptual advances for studying neurotransmitter receptors and other synaptic proteins. It de…

This book provides a comprehensive update on the recent developments concerning the role of plant neurotransmitters in signaling and communication. Physiological investigations over the past few decades have demonstrated that plants employ neurotransmitters in various signaling …
Drug addiction remains one of the most important public health problems in western societies and is a rising concern for developing nations. Over the past 3 decades, experimental research on the neurobiology and psychology of drug addiction has generated a torrent of exciting da…
