Handbook of the Behavioral Neurobiology of Serotonin: A Comprehensive Guide

Authored by Christian P. Muller, the Handbook of the Behavioral Neurobiology of Serotonin, Second Edition, is a detailed and comprehensive overview of the many facets of behavioral serotonin research. The text expands on the two key topics, behavioral control and psychiatric disorders, including its role on psychostimulant abuse and addiction. The new edition includes two new sections on the serotonin systems interactions and the involvement of serotonin in neurological disorders and associated treatment.

Serotonin: A Key Neurotransmitter

Serotonin is a major neurotransmitter in the serotonergic system, one of the best studied and understood transmitter systems. Both are critically involved in the organization of all behaviors and in the regulation of emotion and mood.

Focus on Ionotropic and Metabotropic 5-HT Receptors

The handbook focuses on ionotropic and metabotropic 5-HT receptor involvement in behavior, mapping receptors and receptor signaling pathways to neurochemical and behavioral outcomes.

Interactions Between Serotonin, Melatonin, and Kynurenine Pathways

The text covers the interactions between serotonin, melatonin, and kynurenine pathways, providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationships between these neurotransmitters.

New Sections on Serotonin Systems Interactions and Neurological Disorders

The new edition includes two new sections on the serotonin systems interactions and the involvement of serotonin in neurological disorders and associated treatment, expanding the scope of the handbook and providing valuable insights into these critical areas.
