Neuropharmacology and Pesticide Action (Ellis Horwood series in biomedicine) - M. G. Ford (Herausgeber)
in den Warenkorb This collection of 21 articles summarizes the major advances that have occurred over the last few years in the neuropharmacology of pesticides. The articles were presented at Neurotox '85, an international symposium held at the University of Bath, England. The contributors emphasize the molecular basis of neuropharmacology and neurobiology, with examples taken from invertebrate and vertebrate nervous systems. They also stress the relationship between the chemical structure and neurotoxicity and describe the effects of neurotoxicants upon molecular and cellular components within the nervous system. Among the topics discussed are structure$activity analysis in drug design, the use of computer graphics to study drug-receptor interactions, and avermectins, a new type of pesticide. |
