Since the discovery that neuronal transmission can be chemically
mediated, a large number of compounds have been found in the
mammalian central nervous system which appear to function as
neurotransmitter agents. Recently, electro physiological and
biochemical methods have been developed which have enabled
neuroscientists to classify better the myriad of neurotransmitter
receptor sites in brain and to study their properties in finer
detail. As a result of these investigations, a significant number
of new discoveries have been made about the mechanisms involved in
neurotransmitter receptor interactions, the role neurotransmitters
play in the actions of pharmacological agents and in the
pathogenesis of various neuropsychiatric disorders. The present two
volume text was compiled to summarize the information relating to
the physiological, biochemical, pharmacological and functional
characteristics of neurotransmitter receptor sites. While emphasis
is placed on neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian central
nervous system, the characteristics of these receptors in other
species, both vertebrate and invertebrate, are also discussed where
appropriate. While these books cover the major classes of putative
neurotransmitters - amino acids, peptides and biogenic amines - and
are therefore broad in scope, each is discussed in a concise
fashion to highlight the major points of historical and
contemporary interest. In addition to outlining data, each chapter
addresses current theories relating to the various aspects of
receptor properties and function in an attempt to reveal the
directions of future research and as a stimulus for other workers
in the field.
