830 pages of anti-reductionist neuropsychopharmacology. From receptor to circuit to phenomenology. The textbook that refuses to simplify.
If you cannot explain why amisulpride causes hyperprolactinemia but lurasidone does not, you have memorized — not learned. This book exists for those who refuse that distinction.
Each unit moves through five recurring layers: from molecule to signal, from circuit dynamics to the phenomenology of experience, and into the expression of complexity. No shortcuts. No reductionism. A spiral pedagogy that revisits every concept with ever-deepening insight.
From membrane biophysics to the pharmacological pathways of consciousness modulation. A progressive architecture that builds molecular literacy before complexity expression.
Publication-grade Ki values cross-checked against PDSP and IUPHAR databases. Every receptor binding constant verified. Every mechanism sourced.
Proposal of the Complex Mesolimbic–Frontostriatal Dysregulation Model — a dimensional framework mapping circuit‑level dysfunctions across conditions characterized by limbic dysregulation or executive impairment.
Merleau-Ponty and Phenomenology of Perception meets NMDA antagonism. Wittgenstein meets the limits of language of the mind. Phenomenology as explanatory framework, not ornament.
Concepts revisited at increasing depth. Chapter 28 rewards your mastery of Chapter 3. Each return adds a layer of complexity and clinical relevance.
No one is a singular recipient. No drug acts through a single mechanism, and no combination is ever deterministic. This book embraces the fractal complexity that simplification erases.
