Here is a comprehensive overview of the drugs that act on the
central and peripheral nervous systems. This volume thoroughly
describes the diseases associated with the nervous system and the
drugs used for their treatment while also looking at the current
status of these drugs and their future potential and challenges.
Divided into three sections, the book first focuses on the drugs
that affect the functions of the autonomic nervous system to
produce therapeutic effects. These drugs may act presynaptically by
manipulating the genesis, storage, and secretion, and by blocking
the action of neurotransmitters. Some drugs may trigger or impede
postsynaptic receptors. Section 2 focuses on drugs that affect the
central nervous system, including antianxiety drugs, sedative and
hypnotic drugs, antidepressant drugs, antipsychotic drugs,
antiepileptic drugs, and many more. It covers the pharmacological
management of various diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's,
Huntington's, and others. The last section offers explanations of
neurochemical interactions with the aim to develop drugs that have
beneficial effects on neurochemical imbalances. This section
demonstrates models to assess the transport of drugs across the
blood-brain barrier and nanomedicine to treat brain disorders. This
rich compilation provides thorough and extensive research updates
on the important advances in neuropharmacological drugs and drug
therapy from experienced and eminent academicians, researchers, and
scientists from throughout the world.
