Publisher's Synopsis
This volume reviews research on the pharmacology and physiopathology of GABA(A) receptors in the mammalian central nervous system. More than 200 international investigators discuss the most recent findings on the molecular structure of the GABA(A) receptor complex and its role in the pharmacology of steroids, ethanol, general anaesthetics, benzodiazepines, and nonbenzodiazepine GABAergic drugs. The coverage ranges from molecular biology, to molecuar and clinical pharmacology, to new approaches to pharmacotherapy of convulsive, sleep, and anxiety disorders.
