Dopamine in the CNS I (Handbook of Experimental
Pharmacology 154)
Sinopsis :
Dopamine was initially regarded as a mere precursor of
noradrenaline, but has progressively gained its present status
of a common target for major drug classes and a substrate for
some basic functions and dysfunctions of the Central Nervous
System. The scientific interest has shifted from typically motor
areas of the striatum to traditionally limbic ones as the nucleus
accumbens and its afferent areas, the prefrontal cortex, the
hippocampal formation and the basolateral amygdala. This
double volume provides a systematic account of the anatomy,
physiology, neurochemistry, molecular biology and behavioural
pharmacology of dopamine in the CNS. - The first volume

deals with the history of dopamine, the anatomy of dopamine
neurons, the biochemistry and molecular biology of dopamine
uptake sites and of dopamine receptors.
