商品簡介
Aimed at neuroscientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other professionals dealing with psychiatric illnesses, this text explores the molecular basis of attention and attention-related learning. The focus is on the relationship between the D4 dopamine receptor and the folic acid pathway. The author hopes that a greater understanding of how problems in folate or methionine metabolism might impair the normal role of dopamine in attention will shed light upon what is happening in attention-related disorders such as schizophrenia, ADHD, and autism. Deth is a professor and researcher at Northeastern University. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
