Samenvatting
Introducing the basic principles of neuroscience and pharmacology,
The Pharmacology of Drugs of Abuse educates students on the chemical mechanisms and physiological effects of commonly abused drugs. Covering stimulants and depressants, chapters cover neurophysiology and neurochemistry as well as the cultural context and history of various classes of stimulants. Designed as a resource for undergraduate students majoring in neuroscience, physiological psychology, biology, physiology, and biochemistry, this valuable textbook presents up–to–date coverage of clinical neuroscience while educating students on the physiological and psychological effects of drug use.
