The Dopaminergic System

This new series of Advanced Texts on "Basic and Clinical Aspects of Neuroscience" is a joint undertaking by Springer Verlag and Sandoz Ltd. The series is designed to keep general practitioners and clinicians, as well as medical biologists and advanced students in medicine or biology, informed of the current state of knowledge in certain areas of neuro science. Each volume of the series is devoted to one topic and contains contributions by acknowledged authorities in their field. The authors are chosen not only for their expertise but also for their ability to convey their knowledge in a clear and straightforward manner, intelligible to the nonspecialist. Great emphasis is given to the illustrations, which are designed to enhance comprehension of the text. The series is fortunate in having as editors Prof. E. E. Muller (Milan) and Prof. M. O. Thorner (Charlottesville), both for the planning of the program and for the contributions.
