Description

This volume deals with the various neurotransmitters (amino acids, biogenic amines, peptides) and their role in the control of behaviour and mood, both from the experimental and from the clinical and pharmacological point of view. The book provides a detailed discussion of how biological rhythms relate to changes in mood, and how the hypothalamus and pituitary hormones can be related to mood changes. Basic hints for diagnosis are also considered.
