  abstract: Unique in its breadth of coverage ranging from historical accounts of drug use to clinical and preclinical behavioural studies, Psychopharmacology is appropriate for undergraduates studying the relationships between the behavioral effects of psychoactive drugs and their mechanisms of action. New to this edition is new coverage on immune system dysfunctions in schizophrenia that lead to neurodevelopmental brain abnormalities, discussion of the opioid epidemic, designer drugs and use of naloxone, updated coverage of new research techniques, including magnetic resonance spectroscopy, DTI, optogenetics and others, new discussion of orexin-based medications for treating sleep disorders, coverage of new findings in the genetic and epigenetic factors of drug addiction, coverage of synthetic cannabis and the potential therapeutic uses of hallucinogenic drugs.
