The role of tachykinins in depression, mood disorders and epilepsy

2011-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Transgenic and knockout mouse models of disease and gene function have revolutionised the field of biomedical research and the targeted mutations of genes expressed in the brain are revealing the mechanisms underlying normal behaviour and behavioural abnormalities which has led to the development of behavioural neuroscience. However, it is also clear that the phenomena know as ~redundancy~ can limit the effectiven...
