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.
