Biological Basis of Sex Differences in Psychopharmacology
Biological Basis of Sex Differences in Psychopharmacology
Sex matters! Are there differences between the sexes when it comes to brain function and the behaviours that result? This volume attempts to answer this fundamental question. If the answer is 'yes' then this should impact upon our approach to treating mental illness in humans, and to modelling it in animals, as we look for aetiological and pharmacological solutions.
