An illuminating summary of our current understanding of the interactive role of dopamine and glutamate in psychiatric diseases and the therapeutic strategies and possibilities for future treatment. Among the new ideas presented are hypotheses on the role of dopamine and glutamate in aggression, the glutamate system in anxiety disorders, glutamate and neurodegeneration, and on the origin and progression of Parkinson’s disease. Additional chapters offer novel insights into a variety of psychiatric diseases, including ADHD, stress, aggression, addiction, schizophrenia, depression, social ph

Direct and Allosteric Control of Glutamate Receptors describes in detail recent research that has demonstrated that glutamate receptors are subject to numerous modulatory controls. Significant new insights into the physiology and pathophysiology of the nervous system have been obtained by these discoveries. The sites on the receptor proteins where modulation occurs have provided a platform of opportunities for medicinal chemists to design new therapeutic modalities. These new drugs will be of major significance in treating diseases (such as stroke, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, Parkinson’

The Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors provides the first detailed survey of the biochemical, physiological, and pharmacological properties of recombinant ionotropic glutamate receptors. The distinguished contributors show how the molecular characteristics of these receptors account for many of the properties of native ionotropic glutamate receptors. They also examine in detail the properties of glutamate receptor subunits, including receptor modulation by phosphorylation and the anatomical localization of specific glutamate receptor subunits as determined by in situ hybridization and immunochemis

Glutamate receptors are critically important for normal brain function. The preceding decade has seen remarkable advances in our understanding of the physiological function and molecular structure of these proteins. The Glutamate Receptors provides an expansive review of the field with a topical update to two excellent books - The Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors and The Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors. An exciting primer to the study of glutamate receptors and their central role in neurotransmission, The Glutamate Receptors covers the extraordinary research and significant developments in the
