Written at the professional level, the Handbook of Contemporary Neuropharmacology consists of chapters reviewing basic and advanced topics in neuropharmacology. The scope of the Handbook is heavily pre-clinical, covering mostly basic science topics; however, the chapters are organized under a clinical 'umbrella'.

A comprehensive, accessible reference for neuropharmacology

Recognizing the central role of neuropharmacology in drug development, therapy, and the potential for developing novel classes of neuropharmacologic agents stemming from current research, prominent experts collaborated to develop this comprehensive, up-to-date reference that consolidates information about the latest approaches and advances in neuropharmacology in general, and in the research and treatment of specific conditions. Edited by leaders in neuropharmacology and featuring chapters by respected authorities in their specialty areas, Handbook of Contemporary Neuropharmacology is an invaluable resource for pharmacologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, pharmaceutical professionals, and students. It covers basic neuropharmacology and then delves into its applications in research and in treating specific disorders:

• Mood Disorders
• Anxiety and Stress Disorders
• Schizophrenia and Psychosis
• Substance Abuse and Addictive Disorders
• Pain
• Sleep and Arousal
• Development and Developmental Disorders
• Neurodegenerative and Seizure Disorders
• Neuroimmunology
• Eating and Metabolic Disorders

Written and edited by recognized experts, this comprehensive reference is also available online via Wiley InterScience.

• Provides a readily accessible reference for students, professionals and libraries alike.
• Editors are recognized authorities in the neuropharmacology and science field.
• Comprehensive reference text for active junior and senior neurobiologists.
• Fills an important niche as a text between research publications and clinical applications.

The Handbook of Contemporary Neuropharmacology is an invaluable resource for principal investigators and working scientists in academia, government and industry. This three volume set it also of interest for academic physicians, postdoctoral fellows and residents, and all high-level graduate students.
