Abstract
The role of histamine in brain function is discussed. A brief review is presented on the three types of histamine receptors with regard to their biochemistry and functions. The agonists and antagonists of these three classes of histamine receptors are discussed, together with the role such compounds play in clinical therapy and pharmacology.Keywords
