Couverture de l’ouvrage The Endocannabinoid System

The Endocannabinoid System: Genetics, Biochemistry, Brain Disorders, and Therapy examines the cellular, biochemical, genetic, and therapeutic aspects of the endocannabinoid system. The chapters cover significant conceptual advances in the endocannabinoid field and shed light on the many brain disorders in which this biological system is involved.

Written by world-leading experts in the field, the topics covered in this book will have a positive impact on the area of molecular biology, including, but not limited to, cell biology, neuroscience, pharmacology, signaling, disease mechanisms, and therapeutics.

1. Basic mechanisms of synthesis and hydrolysis of major endocannabinoids2. Cannabinoid Receptors and their Signaling Mechanisms3. The endocannabinoid system and Parkinson’s disease4. The putative role of the endocannabinoids on Schizophrenia5. The Endocannabinoid System and Human Brain Functions: Insight from Memory, Motor and Mood Pathologies6. The Endocannabinoid System: Genetics, Biochemistry, Brain Disorders, and Therapy
