Summary
  • In the long-awaited second edition of The GABA Receptors, leading international neuroscientists critically review the latest advances in our understanding of the fundamental molecular, biochemical, behavioral, and pharmacological properties of GABA receptors. In so doing, they clarify the approaches being taken to identify and develop new therapeutic agents for such neurological and psychiatric disorders as epilepsy, memory loss, affective illnesses, and psychosis.
  • The distinguished contributors writing here also examine the therapeutic potential that remains in the cloning and expression of the GABA transporter, and in developing additional agents capable of regulating GABA receptor function.
