The Serotonin System: History, Neuropharmacology, and Pathology provides an up-to-date accounting on the physiology and pathophysiology of serotonin and the role it plays in behavioral functions. In addition, the book explores the potential roles of 5-HT1 in neurodevelopmental disorders and summarizes the history of the discovery and development of serotonergic drugs for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. This concise, yet thorough, volume is the perfect introduction to this critical neurotransmitter. It is ideal for students and researchers new to the study of behavior, neuropsychiatry or neuropharmacology, but is also a great resource for established investigators who want a greater perspective on serotonin.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Mark David Tricklebank, BSc MSc PhD DSc FBphS, earned his PhD from the University of Manchester, and after completing postdoctoral training at the Institute of Neurology, he joined the pharmaceutical company Merrell Dow in Strasbourg, where he was instrumental in the identification of the functional relevance of the newly identified 5-HT1A recognition site. He then moved to Merck at Terlings Park, where he worked with Susan Iversen to identify the behavioral effects of the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 and showed them to be identical to those of phencyclidine and ketamine. After then serving as head of the Mental Health Unit at Sandoz Pharma in Basel, he was appointed director of In Vivo Pharmacology at the Lilly Research Centre, Windlesham, where he conceived and founded the Lilly Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, one of the first industrial-academic partnerships in the United Kingdom. After a varied career of several decades in the pharmaceutical industry, he now serves a

s a Wellcome Trust Fellow in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London, and has published more than 160 papers.

Dr Eileen Daly, PhD, is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Forensic and Neurodevelopmental Sciences at King's College London. When at the National Institute of Aging, National Institutes of Health, USA, she measured neurotransmitter metabolites in human CSF and rodent brain. Relocating to the Institute of Psychiatry in London, she completed her PhD in Developmental Neuroscience with a project using Acute Tryptophan Depletion to modulate serotonin in Autism Spectrum Disorder, then looking at the brain with fMRI. She continues to study the role of neurotransmitters in developmental disorders and is the author of more than 100 papers.
