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.
