Overview

A multidisciplinary survey of the progress in research on CNS trace amines. The profound pharmacological, physiological, and behavioural effects of these endogenous substances, effects whose proper understanding is rapidly emerging as a result of strong methodological advances, promises great progress in the clinical treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders. This work should be of interest to all experimental and clinical neuroscientists.
