Neurotransmitter-Dopamine Interactions

Dopamine Interaction with Other Neurotransmitters: Relevance in the Pathophysiology and Treatment of CNS Disorders explores the intriguing interaction between dopamine (DA) and other neurotransmitters in the brain, in normal and in pathological conditions. Each chapter, written by an author with special expertise in the field, covers the role of a single neurotransmitter in DA modulation, summarizing the role of the neurotransmitter in the control of dopamine neurotransmitter function and dysfunction in pathological conditions, and suggesting new therapeutic approaches. Dopamine Intereaction with Other Neurotransmitters covers everything from the small-molecule neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, amino acids, monoamines and purines, to neuropeptides, as well as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators such as cholecystokinin, opioids, cannabinoids, hypocretin, orexin and oxytocin.

Written by an international team of experts in the field, Dopamine Interaction with Other Neurotransmitters will be an invaluable reference for professional scientists and clinicians as well as graduate students in neuroscience fields.
