The Handbook of Dopamine captures current understanding of dopamine biology in the brain, including anatomical organization of dopamine neurons, their molecular and genetic diversity, synaptic and circuit connectivity, receptor function and signalling, through to diverse roles in behaviors and finally, dysfunction in disease. This volume compiles a comprehensive set of perspectives from a large number of leading scientists working in dopamine research. The volume describes the current state-of-the-field, summarizing knowledge that has been transformed in the last decade through the advent and application of sophisticated new technologies.
- Offers up-to-date review of dopamine biology across fields
- Explores the function and regulation of dopamine neurons in healthy behavior and also dysfunction in disease
- Includes historical and future perspectives in the field of dopamine research
