Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book aims to cover the role of neurotransmitters, the substances released form neurons to act on neurons. It covers what they do, how they do it and how their activity is involved in brain function and affected by drugs and disease. The contents include: An overview of neurotransmitter function including their release, effects on neuronal excitability and receptor interaction Detailed description of the synaptic physiology, pharmacology and possible brain function of each neurotransmitter with particular emphasis on acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA, noradrenaline, dopamine, 5 hydroxytryptamine and the peptides, purines, histamine, steroids and nitric oxide An evaluation on how the different neurotransmitters may be involved in the initiation and maintenance of certain brain disorders such as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and dementia A review of neurotransmitters in sleep and consciousness and in the social problems of drugs and abuse Neurotransmitters, Drugs and Brain Function provides insights that will prove invaluable to students and researchers involved in pharmacology, neuroscience, medicine and psychology. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
À partir d’entretiens répétés auprès des détenus, des sortants de prison, de leurs familles, comme de l’administration pénitentiaire et des ONG, d’observations conduites dans la prison et dans les quartiers de Yaoundé, Marie Morelle dévoile le quotidien de la prison centrale de Yaoundé. Elle dépasse les stéréotypes sur les prisons africaines, souvent réduites à des espaces surpeuplés et délabrés, signes « d’États en crise » et encore mal connus, et met en perspective les actions et les discours nationaux et internationaux sur les prisons. Plus largement, l’auteure éclaire la vie urbaine des populations dominées et les pratiques de régulation dont elles font l’objet de la part des autorités au Cameroun. Démontrant l’existence d’un continuum liant prison et quartiers populaires, elle montre comment le pouvoir en place gère la pauvreté comme les oppositions politiques en ville. À la croisée des approches urbaine, sociale et politique en géographie, cet ouvrage s’ |

adresse aux étudiants en sciences sociales et à toute personne engagée sur les questions carcérales et sur les droits de l’homme. This book describes the everyday lives of inmates and guards at Yaoundé Central Prison. It seeks to overcome stereotypes of African prisons, often reduced to overcrowded and dilapidated places in “failed States” still largely unknown. It aims to put into perspective measures and debate on prisons, which lie at the interface between reform in the justice sector and reform in the security sector. This essay provides an insight into the lives of the citizens of Yaoundé and the way they are dominated by the public authorities. It establishes a continuum between prison and working-class neighbourhoods and explains how poverty and political opposition are both handled in Cameroon. It straddles urban, social and political geography approaches and focuses on a subject which is still rarely studied within the discipline. It is based on repeated interviews with inmates, their families,… |
