This book gathers cutting edge research on how transmitter interactions form the mechanistic bases for attention, learning and memory. The research provides a more accurate, though complex, picture of how the brain provides cognitive function, and offers new understanding about the mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction and novel avenues for therapeutic treatment. The contributors review their latest findings, and point out directions of advancement of the field of neurotransmitter interactions and cognitive function.
