Recently there have been many significant advances in our understanding of the functioning of noradrenaline in the central nervous system.;This book provides an insight into recent developments and examines current knowledge in this field. Contributions from eminent researchers in a variety of anatomical, molecular, biochemical, electrophysiological and behavioural aspects of noradrenaline function are included, providing a detailed and up-to-date coverage of the subject.
