Pharmacological Sciences: Perspectives for Research and Therapy in the Late 1990s Perspectives for Research and Therapy in the Late 1990s
This volume arose from the scientific program of the XIIth International Congress of Pharmacology, held in Montreal, Canada, July 24-29, 1994. The scientific program included plenary lectures and symposia, in addition to poster presentations and colloquia. The abstracts of the Congress presentations...
