General Pharmacology and Neuropharmacology of Benzodiazepine Derivatives

  • Chapter
Psychotropic Agents

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 55 / 2))

Abstract

This chapter deals with all pharmacologic effects of benzodiazepine-like compounds on neuronal and nonneuronal cells and tissues reported in the literature. In other words, we shall discuss all somatic effects of benzodiazepines investigated in experimental pharmacology and exclude effects on psychological functions which, in the animal, are identical with behavioral effects, since observation of free and scheduled behavior is the only means to obtain indirect information on drug-induced changes in the psychological activity of the laboratory animal. Behavioral effects of benzodiazepines are the subject of a special chapter in this volume (Dews, 1981). We shall mention effects of benzodiazepines in man only on exceptional occasions.
