This is Volume 1 in the series 'Pioneers in Neuropsychopharmacology.'

Joel Elkes was recipient of the CINP-Pfizer Pioneers in  Psychopharmacology  Award at the XXXIst CINP Congress in Glasgow. The content of  this book is not restricted  to a collection of Elkes' papers in neuropsychopharmacology, but includes also his contributions to other areas of behavioral  science  and some of his personal reflections. Elkes connects. His interests range wide - from molecular building blocks of the brain to social behavior. In each area his inquisitive spirit  poses questions, questions he continues to ask  even if answers are not readily forthcoming
