Title: Advances in neuropharmacology : drugs and therapeutics / edited by Md. Sahab Uddin, Mamunur Rashid.
Description: Oakville, ON : Palm Bay, Florida : Apple Academic Press, [2020] | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary:
“This new volume, Advances in Neuropharmacology: Drugs and Therapeutics, provides a comprehensive overview of the drugs that act on
the central and peripheral nervous systems. It thoroughly describes the diseases that are associated with the nervous system and drugs used
their treatment while also looking at the current status of these drugs and their future potential and challenges. This book is divided into
three sections that describe the nervous system associated diseases and their treatment as well as current status and future opportunities and
challenges. Section 1 focuses on the drugs that affect the functions of the autonomic nervous system to produce therapeutic effects. These
drugs may act presynaptically by manipulating the genesis, storage, and secretion, and by blocking the action of neurotransmitters. Some drugs
may trigger or impede postsynaptic receptors. Section 2 focuses on drugs that affect the central nervous system, including antianxiety drugs,
sedative and hypnotic drugs, antidepressant drugs, antipsychotic drugs, antiepileptic drugs, and many more. It covers the pharmacological
management of various diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s disease, and others. Section 3 offers explanations of
neurochemical interactions with the aim to develop drugs that have beneficial effects on neurochemical imbalances. This section demonstrates
models to assess the transport of drugs across the blood-brain barrier and nanomedicine to treat brain disorders. This rich compilation provides
thorough and extensive research updates on the important advances in neuropharmacological drugs and drug therapy from experienced
and eminent academicians, researchers, and scientists from throughout the world. It will be rich resource for professionals, academicians,
students, researchers, scientists, and industry professionals around the world in the biomedical, health, and life science fields. Key features:
Presents recent advances in neuropharmacology, covering the drugs that act on the central and peripheral nervous systems Provides extensive
explanations of various emerging research in this field Explores the intricacy of neurological disorders Looks at existing and forthcoming
therapeutic drug strategies”-- Provided by publisher.

findings can be briefed as to the following:
“first for the salvation of your soul and then to secure you against
dubious opinions, and especially against notions such as those
teach who lead astray the more simple (ἁπλούστεροι), alleging
that both good and evil come from the same Power, and
introducing but one principle, and neither distinguishing nor
separating the darkness from the light, and the good from the
bad and the evil (φαῦλον), and that which is without man from
that which is within him, as we have said formerly, so that they
cease not to confuse and mingle one thing with another. But do
not thou, O my son, like most men, unreasonably and foolishly
join the two together nor ascribe them both to the God of
Goodness. For these teachers attribute to God the beginning
and the end, and make him the father of these ills the end of
which is near a curse[1036].”
“of the form that we have seen, that is to say, of the First Man.
And in that manner,” it continues, “he created the man. They
created Eve also after the like fashion, imparting to her of their
own lust, with a view to the deceiving of Adam. And by these
means the construction of the world proceeded from the
operations of the Prince[1073].”
The teaching of Manes with regard to Jesus is not very clear in the
Christian tradition, no doubt because the writers who recorded it
were careful to remove from it as much as possible everything which
in their view savoured of blasphemy. Yet the Christian author before
quoted makes Manes say that the God of Light whom he calls “the
Good Father” sent his well-beloved son upon earth for the salvation
of man’s soul and “because of Omophorus” or the world-sustaining
angel. This son, by whom he can hardly mean any other than the
historical Jesus, “came and transformed himself into the semblance
of a man and showed himself to men as a man, although he was not
a man, and men imagined that he had been begotten[1074].” It is also
to Him that is attributed the construction of the wonderful wheel
before alluded to as equipped with twelve vases which the sphere
causes to revolve, and which thus scoops up, as it were, the souls of
the dying[1075]. The Christian account also narrates that in
There is not really any very great difference between this and the
Mahommedan tradition quoted above which makes Jesus the
messenger sent from above to give knowledge to Adam, especially if
we consider that Manes probably, like most of the Gnostics, placed
Paradise not upon the earth but in one of the heavens intermediate
between us and the abode of the Supreme Being[1077]. That Manes
supposed Jesus to have descended to this earth also is plain from
his own words quoted by Al Bîrûnî from the Shapurakan or book
written by Manes for King Sapor:
“Wisdom and deeds have always from time to time been brought
to mankind by the messenger of God. So in one age they have
been brought by the messenger called Buddha to India, in
another by Zaradusht [i.e. Zoroaster] to Persia, in another by
Jesus to the West. Thereupon this revelation has come down,
this prophecy in this last age through me, Mânî, the messenger
of the God of Truth to Babylonia[1078].”
Manes’ ideas as to the salvation of man’s soul again differ little in the
two streams of tradition. The Christian, here perhaps the fuller of the
two, describes him as teaching that the soul of man, as also that of
beasts, birds, other animals, and plants, is part of the light which was
won by the demons from the First Man, while all bodies are of that
matter which is the same as darkness. Man’s body, we are told, is
called a cosmos by parallelism with the great Cosmos, and all men
have roots here below bound to things which are above[1079]. It is the
cutting of these roots by the demons which causes death. On the
death of a man who has attained the knowledge of the truth during
this life, his soul is taken up in the wheel to the Sun, by whom after it
has been purified it is passed over to the Moon, the two luminaries
being represented as ships or ferry-boats sailing to-and-fro in the
upper air. When the Moon is full, she ferries the souls with which she
is filled towards the East, and then delivers them to the Aeons of
Light who place them in the Pillar of Glory before described. She
