5-ht2c Receptors in the Pathophysiology of

The purpose of this book is to summarize the large work that has explored the pathophysiological role of the 5-HT2C receptor. It will fill a gap in literature since no similar editorial work has recently been published. In addition, the topic is extremely important and of general interest among the scientific community with relevance not only to specialists but also to general practitioners and students. This book will be a very important contribution to the debate on new pharmacological approaches for several psychopathological states. The physiology, pharmacology and anatomical distribution of the 5-HT2C receptors in the CNS will be described first. After, their potential involvement in the pathophysiology of depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and drug abuse and other disorders such as epilepsy, obesity, sexual dysfunctions will be also discussed.
