  Product Description:
Psychopharmacology
  is the study of the effects of psychoactive drugs  on the functioning
  of the central nervous system at all levels of  analysis, thus  
embracing  cognition, behaviour, psychological states,  neurophysiology,
  neurochemistry, gene expression and molecular biology.  It includes,
as  an integral part of its domain, the interaction of  environmental  
and  genetic factors with psychoactive drug action, their  medicinal and
  social uses, and their abuse.
The  
Encyclopedia  of Psychopharmacology provides detailed information  on  
psychopharmacology and its sub-disciplines, such as clinical    
psychopharmacology, molecular neuropsychopharmacology, behavioural    
pharmacology in laboratory animals, preclinical psychopharmacology,    
human experimental psychopharmacology.
The  
wide-ranging entries in the Encyclopedia of Psychopharmacology  are  
written by leading experts. They will provide basic and clinical    
scientists in academia as well as industry with valuable information    
about the field of psychopharmacology. Also people in related fields,  
students, teachers, and interested laypeople will benefit from the    
important and relevant information on the most recent developments of  
psychopharmacology.
Entries will fall into  
several main categories: Methods, techniques  and target systems  
(explaining nature of a technique and its uses and  limitations) - Drugs
  and classes of drug (mainly describing effects and  mechanisms of  
action) - Psychiatric states (explaining drugs used to  treat them) -  
Miscellaneous currently interesting topics that do not  fall within the
 above (e.g. cognitive enhancement, regulation and  licensing,
substance   use in religious rituals
