Inhaltsangabe

The book demonstrates the relevance of the transporter and explains how this knowledge is translated into valid animal models that foster new discoveries in human neurobiology.

Críticas

'... essential reading and reference material for any researcher working on neuroscience in the fields of medicine, psychology, pharmacology and developmental biology, particularly where animal models are being used to further understanding of human brain development and disorders. ... Non-specialists interested in this field, and willing to grapple with some academically challenging reading will find material to both furnish increased understanding of the background to current research and stimulate them to further reading.' Pamela J. Speed, Journal of Biological Education
