Progress in metamodulation and receptor-receptor interaction: From physiology to pathology and therapy

Abstract

The organization and the role of receptor-receptor interaction (RRI) and metamodulation in physiological conditions have been extensively analyzed and discussed. In this Special Issue of Neuropharmacology, we review recent advances in the understanding of the RRI and the mechanisms underlying its adaptation that could be relevant to the etiopathogenesis of central neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as to the development of new therapeutic approaches to control the activity and to restore the physiological functions, posing the basis for new targeted pharmacological interventions.
