Neuronal Nicotinic Receptors

This text ties together basic research to the discovery of modern agents, and provides therapeutic strategies for the treatment of certain disorders of the central nervous system. It includes a comprehensive review of nicotinic receptors, from the molecular level to clinical applications.
Provides a comprehensive review of nicotinic receptors--from the molecular level to clinical applications. Covers the emerging molecular biological advances in the cloning of nAChRs; the localization and regulation of these receptors; the role these receptors have in central nervous disorder (CNS) functions; the in vivo pharmacology; and the therapeutic opportunities that exist for agents that selectively interact with these receptors to treat CNS disorders.
