Atlas of Neuroactive Substances and Their Receptors in the Rat
Description:... The rat is probably the most widely used experimental system in neurobiology. There already exist several anatomical atlases of the rat nervous system, but this atlas is unique in that it maps the distribution of all the neuroactive substances - transmitters, growth factors, modulators,hormones, and peptides - and their receptors by brain region. The book begins with a useful overview of neurotransmission mechanisms, and the entire brain is then presented in clear, two-colour sections. The synthesis, function, and distribution of each class of substance is covered, followed bythe structure (if known), subtypes, and distribution of its receptors. Researched and compiled by one of the leading neuropharmacologists in the world, Professor Tohyama's Atlas of Neuroactive Substances and their Receptors in the Rat will be an invaluable reference work for all researchers inneuropharmacology, and will be extremely useful for all researchers in neurobiology and neuropathology.
