This book gathers cutting edge research on how transmitter interactions form the mechanistic bases for attention, learning and memory. The research provides a more accurate, though complex, picture of how the brain provides cognitive function, and offers new understanding about the mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction and novel avenues for therapeutic treatment. The contributors review their latest findings, and point out directions of advancement of the field of neurotransmitter interactions and cognitive function.

The rationale for studying transmitter interactions to understand the neural bases of cognitive function.- Neurotransmitters and cognition.- Interactions between CRF and acetylcholine in the modulation of cognitive behaviour.- Forebrain dopaminergic-cholinergic interactions, attentional effort, psychostimulant addiction and schizophrenia.- Intraseptal cholinergic infusions alter memory in the rat: method and mechanism.- Modulation of visual perception and action by forebrain structures and their interactions in amphibians.- Neuromodulators of LTP and NCAMs in the amygdala and hippocampus in response to stress.- Central histaminergic system interactions and cognition.- Cholinergic, histaminergic, and noradrenergic regulation of LTP stability and induction threshold: cognitive implications.- Nicotinic-antipsychotic drug interactions and cognitive function.- Function and dysfunction of monoamine interactions in children and adolescents with AD/HD.- Prepulse inhibition mechanisms and cognitive processes: a review and model.
