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
