The study of the genomic regulation of catecholamine-related enzymes is a new field, emerging from the rapid advances in molecular neurobiology. This text offers detailed summaries of recent progress from the work of leading researchers in molecular genetics and enzymes. It concentrates primarily on the rate- limiting enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase, with several chapters devoted to its complex chemistry, plus an evolutionary view of its structural similarity to certain aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. The book covers the remaining three pathway enzymes and all other enzymes related to catecholamine genes.

Utilizing the flood of information derived from the Human Genome Project and corresponding efforts to elucidate the mouse genome, Genetic Influences on Neural and Behavioral Functions provides a scholarly catalog, organized logically, of relations between the expression of specific genes, nerve cell biology and behavior, normal and abnormal, in animals AND humans. Sample topics include genes in relation to schiziphrenia, panic disorder, epilepsy, alcoholism, sleep, eating disorders, and more.
