Because of the huge complexity of the nervous system and poor understanding of most psychiatric and neurological diseases, most drugs currently available are the result of chance observations rather than a truly comprehensive approach. However, this situation has begun to change. Enormous progress in molecular biology has yielded breakthrough discoveries of the causes of nervous system diseases, opening the door for better-targeted and entirely novel therapies.\u003cbr\u003e Reflecting these recent advances, Drug Discovery for Nervous System Diseases presents the latest techniques and approaches for drug discovery, organizing them according to diseases rather than classes of drugs or drug targets, as past books have done. Written with optimistic anticipation of great progress still to come, this text provides both a guide to present realities and a look to future possibilities in this burgeoning field.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Coverage in Drug Discovery for Nervous System Diseases includes:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Fundamentals of drug discovery-receptors, target selection, and drug development\u003cbr\u003e * Schizophrenia\u003cbr\u003e * Depression\u003cbr\u003e * Anxiety disorders\u003cbr\u003e * Alzheimer's disease\u003cbr\u003e * Parkinson's disease\u003cbr\u003e * Ischemic stroke, brain, and spinal cord injury\u003cbr\u003e * Other neurodegenerative diseases\u003cbr\u003e * Sleep disorders\u003cbr\u003e * Epilepsy\u003cbr\u003e * Pain\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This practical handbook features a uniform presentation for each chapter, with a brief description of existing drugs leading to recent molecular biological and genetic findings, translational research and the interface to clinical trials, and finally an outlook on future drug targets.
