Book excerpt: This textbook of Neuropsychopharmacology deals with the mechanisms of drug action in the central nervous system and covers drugs used in both psychiatry and neurology. It gives a clear picture of their behavioral, therapeutic, and toxic effects. It deals with all the major drug classes that affect the CNS, including analgesics, anesthetics, muscle relaxers, migraine drugs, antiepileptics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, sedative-hypnotics, drug used for movement disorders, and common street drugs. Each chapter describes drug action against the backdrop of the basic neurobiology of the systems involved.
