"Dopamine: Health and Disease" ed. by Sarat Chandra Yenisetti

This volume is an endeavour with an objective to understand and appreciate the biological functions of dopamine (DA) in human wellbeing and its potential utility in biomedical research. Anyone who has an eye for health and disease-related concepts will find this book a good read.

The chemical basis of human emotions has been an exciting aspect in biology. The "feel-good chemical" dopamine (DA) is a hormone and also a neurotransmitter, which performs a critical role in reward and movement control in the brain. DA also performs multiple other functions outside the brain. Regulating unrelated critical biological functions makes this chemical a vital factor for sustaining life in both health and disease. The effort will supplement scientific and non-scientific communities in stimulating a critical understanding of the biological purpose of "ticklish" DA, which eventually supports the human relentless effort to reduce the burden of disease. As the most exciting molecule, dopamine directly impacts day-to-day life.
