Description

Presents a comprehensive update of central cholinergic mechanisms from their most molecular aspects to possible clinical applications modifying cholinergic neurotransmission. A considerable number of high-calibre scientists from several continents contributed to this volume.

Table of Contents

• Organization of CNS cholinergic systems
• CNS cholinergic receptors
• the neurobiology of acetylcholinesterase
• synthesis, storage and release of acetylcholine
• turnover of acetylcholine and control of its release
• molecular aspects of acetylcholine release
• trophic influences on CNS cholinergic neurons
• electro-physiological aspects of central cholinergic mechanisms
• cell signalling in cholinergic mechanisms
• functional correlates in CNS cholinergic transmission
• involvement of cholinergic neurons in sleep mechanisms
• clinical aspects of CNS cholinergic pharmacology
• conclusion.
