Nicotine research has been conducted for the better part of a century, but with the discovery of the relationship of nicotinic systems to Alzheimer's disease, the differentiation of nicotinic receptor subtypes, and the development of novel nicotinic ligands, the field of nicotine research has exploded. This book will provide you reference to the latest research methods and findings concerning... Read more

Biography

Edward D. Levin

"Well known researchers from the Old and New Worlds contributed to this book…presents an integrated approach to nicotine research that should help to identify critical neuropharmacological mechanisms for both adverse and potentially therapeutic effects of nicotine. Edward Levine has contributed much to the development of nicotine research on cognitive functions."
