Description:
Current research on amphetamines focuses on action mechanisms that may imply a susceptibility for abuse. Further, the research points to apparent psychopathological disorders induced or precipitated by such abuse. An understanding of action mechanisms may aid investigations into the pathophysiology and treatment of these disorders. The overviews contained in this book, which cover myriad aspects of the chemistry, pharmacology, behavior, and toxicology of amphetamine and its analogs, will assist researchers by summarizing past findings and indicating new directions of study. Key Features * Presents advances in action mechanisms, toxicity, and psychopharmacology of amphetamine and its analogs * Examines amphetamine abuse in the United States and Japan * Reviews literature from the mid-1970s to the present
