Psychopharmacology by Jerrold S. Meyer,Linda F. Quenzer Pdf
Recent advances in molecular pharmacology and brain imaging have revolutionized our understanding of how psychoactive drugs work. These developments have been integrated into a new undergraduate text from the authors of the widely acclaimed Principles of Neuropsychopharmacology. Psychopharmacology: Drugs, the Brain, and Behavior is unique in its breadth of coverage, ranging from historical accounts of drug use to clinical and pre-clinical behavioral studies to the latest research on drug effects in transgenic mouse models. Student engagement with the material is fostered by opening each chapter with a relevant vignette and by providing breakout boxes presenting novel or cutting-edge topics for special discussion. The book is richly illustrated with numerous full-colour photographs and line art depicting important concepts and experimental data.
