Description
This is the 12th in the
Neuroscience Perspectives Series. The existence of sigma receptors in the central nervous system
has only relatively recently been established. In line with the aims of
Neuroscience Perspectives, this volume will
cover the historical background of the subject, together with the physiological, molecular biological and pharmacological aspects, with
a discussion on the concept of sigma receptors subtypes and their postulated relevance for CNS disorders.
