Extensive discoveries have been made about the roles of the
neurotransmitter substances noradrenaline and dopamine in human
beings as well as in experimental animals. The book starts with a
description of the anatomy of the catecholamine pathways of the
brain and a summary of the pharmacological manipulations available
for studying them. Stephen Mason's main concerns, however, are with
the studies of the part played by these brain systems in motor
behaviour, learning and reward mechanisms, and cognitive and
vegetative behaviour. Finally, he deals with the catecholamines in
human clinical psychopathology. Throughout, the book details the
experiments from which conclusions are drawn in such a way as to
illuminate the process of scientific discovery for students, and to
highlight the limitations and the gaps in our present knowledge.
There are many illustrations, and commonly used behavioural
paradigms and terminology are explained in an appendix. Included
are over 1200 references to the original research literature. The
book will thus be of particular interest to students in brain and
behaviour courses, in psychology, physiology, pharmacology and a
wide range of neurosciences, and to their teachers. It will also be
valuable to research workers as the most comprehensive and detailed
summary of the present state of knowledge in this fascinating
research area.
