Molecules Of The Mind by Jon Franklin
The Brave New Science of Molecular Psychology
An accessible account of how late-20th-century neuroscience uncovered the biochemical underpinnings of thought and emotion, following the race to identify neurotransmitters, receptors, and neuropeptides—especially the brain’s opiate system. Through vivid case histories and lab narratives, it shows how these discoveries reshaped views of depression, schizophrenia, and addiction, while weighing the promise and perils of treating the self with molecules.
