Table of Contents:
Includes bibliographical references and index
Jerry J. Buccafusco: The cholinergic hypothesis -- past and present -- Ezio Giacobini: Drugs that target cholinesterases -- William S. Messer, Jr.: Drugs that target muscarinic cholinergic receptors -- Andrea Wevers and Diana S. Woodruff-Pak: Rationale and prospects for drugs that target nicotinic acetylcholine receptors -- Edward D. Levin: Drugs that target catechoaminergic receptors -- Alvin V. Terry, Jr.: Drugs that target serotonergic receptors -- Thomas Weiser: Drugs that target amino acid receptors -- Arthur A. Hancock and Gerard B. Fox: Drugs that target histaminergic receptors -- Joe L. Martinez, Jr., Kenira Thompson, Melanie McFadyen and Stephen C. Heinrichs: Peptide and steroid hormone receptors as drug targets for enhancement of learning and memory performance -- Keith A. Wesnes, Andrea Zangara, Andrew Scholey and David Kennedy: Natural products as cognition enhancing agents -- Jerry J. Buccafusco and Moussa B.H. Youdim: Drugs with multiple CNS targets -- Index
During the past decade research into the pharmacology of cognition, particularly regarding learning and memory, has supported the concept that many potential neural targets exist for the development of cognitive-enhancing drugs. Whereas the main impetus for this research has been the ever growing population of individuals with dementing disorders such as Alzheimer`s disease, attention is also being focused on issues relating to cognitive impairment associated with "normal" aging. This book is useful as a source of information for making informed decisions regarding the relative utility and attributes of the various neural targets that have been studied to date
