Sage Publications Sage Brain and Behaviour - Neurotransmission Textbook

Explore the biological processes that drive human behaviour with this comprehensive textbook from Sage Publications. This text provides a deep look into how neurotransmitters function as core elements of biological psychology and how they maintain the correct operation of brain circuits. This book focuses on eight core neurotransmitters, examining the specific machinery that allows them to work. You will learn about the entire lifecycle of these chemicals, including how they are synthesised, how they are packaged, and how they facilitate communication between neurons. Each chapter is dedicated to a single neurotransmitter, providing a clear outline of its machinery. The text also discusses current research regarding how changes to this machinery may contribute to various disorders. This makes it an essential resource for students and professionals interested in neuropsychology and the molecular mechanisms of the brain.
