Infos

Handbook of Endocannabinoid Function in the Central Nervous System offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to understanding the role of the endocannabinoid system in the functions of the central nervous system. In recent years, brain endocannabinoids have emerged as key modulators of brain function and behavior; endocannabinoids are now considered and used for the development of selective and specific compounds able to treat several CNS diseases and conditions. This new volume brings together the most influential and internally recognized experts in the field to provide a detailed overview of physiological and pathophysiological roles of endocannabinoids in CNS activity. The book begins by covering the history, functional anatomy, and neurophysiology of the endocannabinoid system, moving on to assess endocannabinoid roles across human lifespans and in behavioral control. The final sections of the book explore the use of endocannabinoids in psychiatric and neurological disorders. Handbook of Endocannabinoid Function in the Central Nervous System is a vital resource for neuroscientists, neuropharmacologists, and neuropathologists, as well as any researcher seeking detailed discussions of brain endocannabinoid functions.

Autor

Olivier Manzoni is a Research Director at INSERM in Marseille and director of the International Associated Laboratory CannaLab (University of Indiana, Bloomington USA / Aix-Marseille University, France). His research is centered on understanding the molecular basis of synaptic plasticity in normal and pathological conditions, with a focus on the function of the endocannabinoid system and the effects of cannabis during lifetime. Vivana Trezza is an Associate Professor and Group Leader at Roma Tre University. Her research investigates the brain mechanisms underlying functional and dysfunctional socio-emotional behavior, to identify novel pharmacological targets for neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by aberrant socio-emotional processing. A special emphasis in her research is placed on the role of the endocannabinoid system in the regulation of emotions and cognition through development.
