Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate Molecular, Functional, and Clinical Aspects

Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) has come a long way since early experiments in animals where it was found to induce a sleep-like state and from its use in general anaesthesia in human subjects. Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate: Pharmacological and Functional Aspects brings together the combined expertise of many of the leading authorities on the biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology of GHB in the central nervous system. Each chapter is an in-depth review of the field and the book itself will appeal to all neurobiologists interested in neurotransmitter mechanisms, as well as to clinicians and other health-care workers interested in this fascinating chemical.Tunnicliff, Godfrey is the author of 'Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate Molecular, Functional, and Clinical Aspects' with ISBN 9780415284998 and ISBN 0415284996.
