Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This work brings together neurochemical information about drug targets and their mechanisms on the one hand, with psychopharmacological and behavioural studies of drug dependence on the other. Topics covered include the cannabinoid receptor, and mouse genetics of alcohol addiction.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
