It has been almost forty years since Norman G. Bowery discovered and named this "non-GABA-A" receptor the GABA-B receptor. It has been almost ten years since the last comprehensive book presentation focused on GABA-B receptors.
The main goal of this book is to provide the field with a contemporary and comprehensive perspective on the GABA-B receptor, its physiological relevance, and its therapeutic potential. The volume is organized into introductory and special interest sections presented by experts who study the GABA-B receptor from structural, signaling, pharmacologic, physiological, pathophysiological, and therapeutic perspectives.
The book aims to appeal to a broad spectrum of biomedical and clinical scientists - any scholars with an interest in GABA-B receptor. The editors hope readers find this work to be thought-provoking, instructive, and informative.
