Cellular and molecular mechanisms of drugs of abuse : cocaine, ibogaine, and substituted amphetamines

This text seeks to enhance our current knowledge and conceptual insights into drugs acting on the CNS and drugs of abuse. Cocaine, methamphetamine, and MDMA - known to be neurotoxic in several species, including rodents, dogs, and nonhuman primates - are the most widely abused drugs in the US, Europe, and Asia. The volume discusses cocaine addiction and neurochemical mechanisms of ibogaine and cocaine, and amphetamine-induced neurochemical changes and relationship to neurotoxicity.
