The Serotonin System: History, Neuropharmacology, and Pathology
provides an up-to-date accounting on the physiology and
pathophysiology of serotonin and the role it plays in behavioral
functions. In addition, the book explores the potential roles of
5-HT1 in neurodevelopmental disorders and summarizes the history of
the discovery and development of serotonergic drugs for the
treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. This concise, yet
thorough, volume is the perfect introduction to this critical
neurotransmitter. It is ideal for students and researchers new to
the study of behavior, neuropsychiatry or neuropharmacology, but is
also a great resource for established investigators who want a
greater perspective on serotonin.
Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, and Andy Warhol all wrote fiction - but
there has never previously been a compllation of the prose of
British artists. "The Alpine Fantasy of Victor B and Other Stories"
brings together seventeen of Britain's leading contemporary artists
in one collection. Moving, humorous and sometimes deeply macabre,
these stories deal with dementia, mortality, mass murder and
madness. A young woman derails a Virgin train, killing twenty
people, as an experiment in conquering death; a boy fakes an
accident to get the attention of the girl of his dreams; an alpine
hiker advocates murder as an environmental clean-up solution; and
time goes backwards as we witness the 'unlynching' of a paedophile
by the local neighbourhood watch. Challenging and expanding notions
of art and what artists do, "The Alpine Fantasy of Victor B and
Other Stories" is a haunting exploration of the impulses that drive
today's artists.
