Recenzje

`This is a pleasure to read. The book is well indexed and referenced and each chapter is followed by excellent summaries of the discussions that followed each presentation. This is a `must' for all medical libraries and will be invaluable for any clinical or basic psychopharmacologist who wishes to get up to date with this fascinating area of neurobiology.'
