Opioids II / edited by Albert Herz, Huda Akil, Eric J. Simon.

This two-volume book provides the first comprehensive survey of opioid research, an area in which a tremendous amount of literature has accumulated since the identification of opioid receptors and their endogenous ligands. In more than 60 chapters experts represent state-of-the-art reviews of this f...
