Description
Springer Monoaminergic Modulation Of Cortical Excitability by Kuei-Yuan Tseng
This book provides a comprehensive, integrated comparison of the complex modulatory action of dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin receptors in the cortex. The discussion assembles a range of opinions on how the monoamine systems affect cortical function. The complexity of these interactions is discussed in light of recent data showing the dramatic effect of disruption of these systems on memory formation and information processing in the cortex._x000D_ _x000D_
