The biochemical basis of neuropharmacology Book

A well-fortified and thorough introduction to molecular and cellular approaches to neuropharmacology. This classic and well-rounded text presumes little initial knowledge of neurobiology on the part of the reader. Cooper thus facilitates a review of neuropharm for those new to the field, as well as those looking for a refresher on the bases of biochemical mechanisms underlying neural transmission. Unfortunately, the text is decidedly lacking in figures and often fails to flesh out definitions. The Biochemical Basis... could certainly benefit from a bit of heft added by a glossary and supplementary figures. However, Cooper provides an engaging jumping-off-point for neuropharmacologically curious readers. Would be of great use to any molecular or cellular neuroscientist as a top-shelf reference material.
