Prominent Alzheimer's investigators provide a comprehensive and balanced overview of the neuropharmacological basis for therapeutics in this devastating disease. Divided into three parts, the book begins with basic research on the neurobiology of cognitive function, offering relevant information on the way the brain encodes and stores data. The second segment explores the molecular aspects of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), emphasizing investigations of possible etiological factors. In the final section, a variety of issues important in developing treatments are discussed including...

Neuronal Nicotinic Receptors: Pharmacology and Therapeutic Opportunities
Edited by Stephen P. Arneric and Jorge D. Brioni
Nicotine's efficacy in the treatment of pain and anxiolysis, and its usefulness as a memory enhancer, have been suspected for many years, but research into the molecular biology of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) traditionally has focused on smoking cessation. Now, thanks to recent technological advances in the molecular biology and electrophysiology of nAChRs, an abundance of evidence has emerged in support of nAChR ligands in the...
