Reviews
"This small book is extraordinary successful in distilling the significan findings in neuropharmacology into a clear and very readable format....One cannot dispute the success of a book that endures 25 years or more and goes into a seventh edition."--Canadian Journal of NeurologicalSciences, "Recommended without reservation to students, physicians, and scientistswho seek a lucid survey of the biochemical basis of neuronal regulatory systemsin the brain."--The New England Journal of Medicine, "An excellent introductory text for neurobiology."-- Dr. Harvey J. Karten, University of San Diego, California, "A highly specialized and technical publication that should be required reading for anyone involved in the field of neuropharmacology. It is a thorough review of neurobiology. It goes over cellular, molecular, receptor and synaptic biology, and neurophysiology. It looks at the variousneurotransmitters (monoamines, amino acids, and peptides), along with the mechanisms of learning and memory. It ends by relating this information to the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The book will provide an excellent foundation for anyone interested in this area."--Doody'sHealth Sciences Book Review, "Has been a classic reference on neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, and behavior for several generations of undergraduate and postgraduate students....An excellent short text for the practicing psychiatrist to keep at hand."--Brainwaves, "The authors act as experienced guides taking you on a tour of the centralnervous system...The authors quote many classic references and share the wisdomof experienced investigators in assessing the strengths and weaknesses ofparticular studies and overall concepts of neuropharmacology. The writing isclear, well-organized, and as up to date as a textbook in this field canbe...The three authors collaborating and writing as a single author provides thekind of consistent approach to the subject rarely seen in multiauthor, editedtexts...The authors are experienced investigators who sift through the hugeamount of information available on neuropharmacology to inform us about what isknown, where the exciting areas are, and what the future may hold."--The Annalsof Pharmacotherapy, "The best of its kind...It will undoubtedly continue to be the first bookwe recommend for studying the biochemistry of neurons."--Journal ofNeurochemistry, "A highly specialized and technical publication that should be requiredreading for anyone involved in the field of neuropharmacology.

I would insist thatevery student of neurobiology read and master this book. It is a serious book,requiring serious effort, commensurate with its own 26-year tradition!"--RobertM.
