receptors have expanded significantly in importance within the neuroscience mainstream. In
The Cannabinoid Receptors
, leading experts introduce newcomers to the cannabinoid field with chapters covering cannabinoid ligand synthesis and structure activity relationships, the molecular pharmacology of the cannabinoid receptors and the endocannabinoid system, and ultimately, the whole animal pharmacology and therapeutic applications for cannabinoid drugs. Adding to those key topics, the book also examines the current direction of the field with chapters on new putative cannabinoid receptors and challenges for future research. As a part of
The Receptors
™ series, this volume highlights its receptor with the most thorough, focused and essential information available.
Comprehensive and cutting-edge,
The Cannabinoid Receptors
serves as an ideal guidebook to what continues to be a fascinating and vital field.
