The editors are pleased to present the first edition of Cannabinoids and Neuropsychiatric Disorders, which has been included in the prestigious Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology series (volume 1264). As editors, we are very happy about this decision as our volume fits perfectly in this landmark biomedicine and the life sciences series. The plant Cannabis sativa has been used both recreationally and medicinally for thousands of years; it was only in 1964 that chemists YehielGaoni and Raphael Mechoulam at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem identified and isolated the psychoactive components in cannabis, Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 38 9-THC; Gaoni and Mechoulam 1964). To give an overview on this subject, we have included nine chapters. The topics covered include the constituents of Cannabis sativa, the molecular mechanism of cannabis and its neuropharmacological effects, emerging roles of cannabinoids and synthetic cannabinoids in clinical medicine, and exploring the use of cannabis in neuropsychiatric disorders. We are privileged to have compiled this volume. During the course of our assignment, we learned much in the process of editing this important volume. We sincerely hope that the readers will find this volume uniquely valuable as a research and clinical resource. We sincerely hope that our volume will be useful to researchers and practicing clinicians.
