Chapter Four Links
Principles of PsychopharmacologyThis brief site provides a brief student primer on the principles of psychopharmacology Serotonin:
This site provides a detailed summary of the chemistry and pharmacology of the nerve cell transmitter serotonin (site includes line drawings). Pharmacokinetics:
This site provides an online tutorial for pharmacokinetics. RxList: The Internet Drug Index
This site allows the user to search a database for information on prescription and non-prescription drugs. Clinical Trials Listing
This site provides information on drugs that are currently under study for approval by the FDA, summaries on clinical trials, and lists of drugs recently approved by the FDA. Acetylcholine summary
This site provides an overview of the metabolism and receptor subtypes of ACh. Clinical Psychopharmcology Seminar
This site provides a comprehensive listing of medical disorders and associated information on drug therapy. NEUROTRANSMITTERS
This resource site will be useful for faculty and students alike. The site reviews the major neurotransmitters as well as neuropeptides. Each section provides a summary of the synthesis and metabolic pathways for each signalling agent. In addition, faculty will find a useful table for each agent summarizing the receptor subtypes (e.g. alpha1 and alpha2), agonists and antagonist drugs for each subtype, and an indication of the nature of the second messenger system (where appropriate). Molecular Expressions Photo Gallery:
This Florida State site contains collections of crystallization photomicrographs of hormones and neurotransmitters (epinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine) as well as a myriad of other objects such as foods, moon rocks, and computer parts. These images represent an artistic means to differentiate the transmitters in addition to chemical structure. Neuropsychology Central
This is the best neuropsychology site I have been able to find. It has information about all strands of neuropsychology as well as links to organizations, newsgroups, jobs, assessment procedures and free neuropsychology software. World Wide Web Virtual Library for Neuroscience
A collection of neuroscience references Cognitive Neuroscience Resources
A list of links providing resources for the cognitive neuroscientist Neuroscience Search Engine
This is a search engine that will allow you to find websites relevant to your keyword search Yahoo Neuroscience
Yahoo is one of the Internet's premier search engines--this is the result of its best website matches for neuroscience Brain Collection Resources
Large number of sites with brain atlases, including the two described below Wisconsin/Michigan State Brain Collection
A collection of images of mammalian brain sections The Whole Brain Atlas A very impressive collection of human brain sections and MRI/PET images, normal and abnormal The Harvard Brain
An impressive Internet magazine on the brain, designed and written by Harvard neuroscience undergraduates
