Beskrivning

Handbook of the Behavioral Neurobiology of Serotonin, Second Edition, builds on the success of the first edition by continuing to provide a detailed and comprehensive overview of the many facets of behavioral serotonin research. The text expands on the two key topics, behavioral control (sensory processing, ultrasonic vocalization, and melatonin and sleep 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 is a major neurotransmitters in the serotonergic system which 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.



  • Features two new sections on serotonin systems interactions and serotonin in neurological disorders
  • Focuses on ionotropic and metabotropic 5-HT receptor involvement in behavior
  • Maps receptors and receptor signaling pathways to neurochemical and behavioral outcomes
  • Covers the interactions between serotonin, melatonin and kynurenine pathways

Mer information

Dr. Müller is Professor of Addiction Medicine at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. He obtained his PhD in Psychology from the University of Düsseldorf. He did PostDocs at the University of Syracuse (USA), University of Düsseldorf, and University of Brasilia (Brazil) before becoming a Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, UK. In 2010 he joined the Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. He serves on several journal editorial boards and guest edited special issues of Behavioral Brain Research and Brain Research Bulletin. Dr. Müller has published more than 120 scientific papers and book chapters. Kathryn A. Cunningham is a pharmacologist and neuroscientist with a focus on advancing the biological understanding of psychiatric disorders and developing effective and safe therapeutics to maximize human function. Her cross-disciplinary, translational research efforts with chemists, cell biologists and clinical scientists are focused on pinpointing the critical roles of two serotonin proteins (5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors) in substance use disorder and the discovery of novel medications to extend abstinence. Her research has been funded continuously for 26 years, has led to three patents for new chemical entities and over 150 publications. Her research and educational contributions have been recognized by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics-Astellas Award for Translational Pharmacology and the Marian Fischman Memorial Award and the Mentorship Award from the College on Problems of Drug Dependence. Dr. Cunningham is the author of nearly 150 scientific publications and is currently Associate Editor of ACS Chemical Neuroscience and of Nature Neuropsychopharmacology.

Recensioner i media

"In sum, this volume is a comprehensive reference book that is easily accessible and has substantial utility for clinicians and researchers alike.  While not geared to an undergraduate population or to individuals who do not have at least a foundation in biology, psychology, or medicine, this textbook is a handy reference for clinical and research professionals alike.  This volume is a welcome and worthwhile bookshelf addition, particularly for the busy neuropsychologist or researcher.  All in all, this text serves as a reminder of the important role of serotonin in regards to behavior and physiological function, as well as to all of us to “keep calm and carry on.”" --Julie Gretler, Ph.D. Marianne L. McClain, Psy.D.
