Benzodiazepine Receptor Ligands, Memory and Information Processing

This volume aims to demonstrate techniques for assessing memory in volunteer and patient populations and to use these techniques to evaluate potential promnestic drugs, all of which are benzodiazepine receptor ligands. It contains important contributions by international experts in psychological theories of memory, pharmacology of benzodiazepine receptor ligands and human psychopharmacology of memory. The book prepares researchers and interested clinicians for the advent of s-carbolines and indicates ways in which future research can progress on the current foundations of theory and praxis.
