Book excerpt: A synthesis of the results of receptor mapping in the human nervous system, including photographs clearly showing the distribution of specific receptors. Recognizes that the field is in a major transition period: receptor autoradiography has recently allowed the study of postmortem human brains, as well as those of experimental animals; and positron emission tomography is now allowing the study of live human brains. The information presented is therefore intended not only to be of use itself, but to serve as a background for the new information expected shortly.
