Numerous phenomenal advances have been made towards understanding the role of neurotransmitters in the pathophysiology of neurological disorders, and these have resulted in a large number of novel molecules with the potential to revolutionize the treatment and prevention of such disorders. This book provides a comprehensive and detailed explanation of brain neurotransmitters and their receptors and associated channels. It includes a basic introduction, and also discusses the functions and recent advances and their pharmacology, highlighting the role of various computer aided drug design (CADD) strategies for the development of therapeutic ligands to modulate these receptors/ion channels. Written in an easy-to-read style, it is intended for neuroscience and pharmaceutical students and researchers working in the area of brain neurotransmitters.

In the constant battle between human intelligence and machine intelligence, machines are close to surpassing human intelligence. The unrestrained use of digital technologies in automating processes is one of the prime advantages of the third industrial revolution. As a result, all developed and developing nations have started to digitalize mundane tasks. Thus, digital technologies for information and communication technologies (ICT) have achieved high market space in terms of infrastructure building, employment generation, education sector reforms, funds mobilization, electronic governance, hardware manufacturing, software development, etc. Hence, it is evident that every segment of society has been penetrated by ICT or digitalization. This book attempts to spotlight areas where AI is thriving. FEATURES Impact of digitalization and AI on governance Novel AI practices being followed across the global community in security, healthcare, crime prevention and detection, education, agriculture, sensor networks, etc. Innovative techniques that can be adopted to ensure better quality and better delivery of services to the society Avenues for further research by the research community and student fraternity This book is a guide for university students (especially those from technical backgrounds), industries, NGOs, and policy makers.

This book focuses on the three inevitable facets of e-government, namely policies, processes and technologies. The policies discusses the genesis and revitalization of government policies; processes talks about ongoing e-government practices across developing countries; technology reveals the inclusion of novel technologies.

In the current era, e-Governance has emerged as a most prominent tool for strengthening democracy. Therefore, in the year 2006, the Government of India launched National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) which encompasses thirty-one Mission Mode Projects to automate high priority tasks associated with rural and urban areas of the country. However, the government is spending an enormous amount of funds in deployment of e-Governance; still, the success ratio of e-Governance projects in India is not overwhelming. The fourteen chapters within this fascinating compendium act as precious gems, reflecting light on diversified aspects of the intents converged towards e-Governance in India via evolution, implementation challenges, impact on societal issues, development of novel frameworks, involved legal issues and prospects. This book is an attempt to investigate the dominating aspects of conquering the objectives of e-Governance. Moreover, it will also encompass plausible, reengineered, conceptual frameworks which have not been discovered heretofore in order to combat with dominating obstacles. Additionally, it will contain a compendium of knowledge about the future of e-Governance in the Indian context. The major highlights of this book are given as followed: 1. Depiction of the current scenario of e-Governance in India from an international perspective; 2. Identification of aspects of the successful implementation of e-Governance; 3. Reengineering of existing methodologies in order to rejuvenate the existing scenario; 4. Major prospects of e-Governance in India; 5. Legal issues involved in e-Governance; 6. Exemplary case studies about successful e-Governance deployment from pioneering countries of the domain.
