Presynaptic Receptors in the Mammalian Brain

In this work, leading experts in the field explore the discovery of presynaptic receptors as well as cover autoreceptors and heterosynaptic modulation of neurotransmitters and possible mechanisms of release modulation. The work is divided into sections covering CNS distribution and pharmacology, modulation of non-glutamateric systems, physiological roles for presynaptic receptors and potential reoles in synaptic plasticity. This volume should be of interest to all neuropharmacologists and neurophysiologists.
