Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. Small number present to the FFEP. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The Neuroscience Perspectives Series provides multidisciplinary reviews in one of the most diverse and rapidly advancing fields in the life sciences. The recent discovery of cannabinoid receptors and endogenous cannabinoid receptor ligands begins an exciting new phase of cannabinoid research. These studies will extend beyond the realms of pharmacology and molecular biology into the realms of physiology and pathophysiology. Research in this area will lead to a betterunderstanding of how the body functions in both health and disease and will aid in developing new medicines. By bringing together the most recent research in this area and by focusing on possible future developments, Cannabinoid Receptors aims to stimulate much needed input from a wide range of disciplines. ; Neuroscience Perspectives; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 264 pages.…

The recent discovery of an abundance of cannabinoid receptors in mammalian tissue has revolutionized cannabis research. Already it has led on to the further discovery that ligands for these receptors are present in the brain. A major implication of these findings is that cannabinoids have importance not only as pharmacological agents, but also as physiological mediators. Thus cannabinoid research must now extend well beyond the realms of pharmacology and molecular biology into those of physiology and pathophysiology.
Endogenous cannabinoids and their receptors could well have significant roles in the processes of perception, cognition, memory and learning, in the regulation of movement and in the control of mood and emotion. The evidence is that psychotropic cannabinoids have long been known to produce marked changes in all of these central activities, and it is the brain areas responsible for many of them (cerebral cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, basal ganglia and cerebellum) that are rich in cannabinoid receptors.
