Marijuana/Cannabinoids: Neurophysiology and Neurobiology (Physiology of Substance Abuse)

Marijuana/Cannabinoids: Neurophysiology and Neurobiology is the first book to specifically address the effects of marijuana and cannabinoids on the physiology and behavior of the brain. The book discusses the dramatic effects of marijuana use on brain chemistry, pharmacology, and behavior. It also examines the isolation of natural cannabinoids and the synthesis of new cannabinoid-like compounds that have been important in research leading to the discovery and function of the cannabinoid receptor in the brain. Up-to-date research findings and in-depth reviews on marijuana and cannabinoids in the brain and their potential therapeutic value make Marijuana/Cannabinoids: Neurophysiology and Neurobiology essential for students, practitioners, and researchers involved in researching drugs of abuse.Bartke, Andrei is the author of 'Marijuana/Cannabinoids: Neurophysiology and Neurobiology (Physiology of Substance Abuse)', published 1992 under ISBN 9780849379314 and ISBN 0849379318.
