This volume is the second in the planned coverage of the neurochemical circuitry of the primate central nervous system. While this volume contains only two chapters, their topics and the extraordinarily comprehensive coverage with which the authors have dealt with their topics, will nevertheless contribute equal amounts of knowledge, wisdom, and opportunities for future research extensions as have every volume in this unique series. As such, these chapters extend the goals of this primate series to develop a broad coverage of human and non-human primate chemical neuroanatomic details in a...

Joel Elkes was declared a "Pioneer of Psychopharmacology," at the XXIst CINP Congress in Glasgow in 1998. This prestigious award, one of many he has received, succinctly defines his groundbreaking contributions in laying the foundations for a discipline before even it existed. The papers included in this volume clearly reflect the visionary way in which Elkes firmly established the close integration of basic science and clinical research that are the hallmarks of modern psychopharmacology. A gifted scientist, innovative thinker, and dedicated teacher, his influence on the field has spanned...

The fourth edition of Fundamental Neuroscience reinvents itself as an engrossing and comprehensive presentation of the discipline of neuroscience, from molecules to cognition. Thorough but succinct, and lavishly illustrated, the book builds from an introductory section that includes fundamental neuroanatomy and goes on to cover cellular and molecular neuroscience, development, sensory systems, motor systems, regulatory systems, and behavioral and cognitive neuroscience. The book has been retooled to better serve its audience in the neuroscience and medical communities.

The...
