Psychopharmacology of Old Age

by David Wheatley

This book reviews our understanding of how aging affects the mind, and how this process can be manipulated by pharmacological means. The nature of aging, the role of central neurotransmitters in memory, pharmacokinetics, a possible "old-age peptide," effects of specific drugs, and treatment of psychiatric disorders associated with old age are covered.
