Psychotropic Drugs of Abuse

By D.J.K. Balfour

A volume surveying the wide and interdisciplinary nature of current studies on the mechanism of action of psychotropic drugs presented in a way which emphasizes the value of exploiting the interrelationship between molecular and behavioral neuroscience. One of the objectives of this volume of the encyclopedia is to seek to relate the recent advances in our understanding of the molecular basis of neuropharmacology to the current explanations for the behavioral and rewarding properties of "recreational" drugs.
