The Receptor Subtype Chart: Advanced Clinical Reference provides a comprehensive overview of the brain’s key receptor systems and their clinical relevance. It covers major receptor families including dopamine (D1–D5), serotonin (5-HT1–5-HT7), GABA (A, B, C), glutamate (NMDA, AMPA, kainate, mGlu), norepinephrine (α and β), acetylcholine (nicotinic, muscarinic), and histamine (H1–H4). Each receptor subtype is summarized with its location, primary function, associated neurotransmitter, and role in psychiatric and neurological disorders.
The guide highlights how different medications—such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, anxiolytics, and sleep aids—interact with specific receptors to produce therapeutic effects or side effects. Special emphasis is placed on clinical applications, receptor selectivity, and pharmacological targeting strategies. Designed as a detailed and practical chart, this reference supports evidence-based prescribing, advanced pharmacology study, and informed clinical decision-making.
