Revival: Pharmacological Regulation of Gene Expression in the CNS Towards an Understanding of Basal Ganglial Functions 1996 Merchant Kalpana

This book focuses on dopamine-mediated regulation of gene expression within the striatum and associated regions of the central nervous system. Each of the chapters, written by the world's leading scientists, provides an understanding of anatomy, neurochemistry, and cellular and molecular effects. It is an excellent review of experimental data on interactions between neuronal systems at systemic, cellular, and molecular levels.

Such an understanding sheds light on the pathophysiology of central disorders involving the basal ganglia and leads to new approaches for the treatment of diseases such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia, and also addictions to psychostimulants such as cocaine and
