• Sommario/riassunto: Biogenic amines are naturally occurring amines that are derived by enzymic decarboxylation of the natural amino acids. This book presents readers with comprehensive information on the pharmacology, neurochemistry and molecular neurobiology of biogenic amine in the CNS of vertebrate and invertebrates.
