Since 1959, International Review of Neurobiology has been a well known series appealing to neuroscientists, clinicians, psychologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists. This important serial is now being combined with Neuroscience Perspectives and Methods in Neurosciences. This combination results in a series that reaches a wider audience and publishes a greater number of thematic volumes. — Modulation of inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitter receptors by protein phosphorylation- The use-dependent regulation of GABAA receptors- Mechanisms of synaptic transmission in the neostriatum- Regulation of neurotransmitters function by the neuronal cytoskeleton- The anatomy and physiology of opioids in the hippocampus- The molecular biology and pharmacology of the cannabinoid receptor- The use of invertebrate and mammalian model systems in the study of the anesthetic drug action- Ethanol effects on ion channels and locomotion
