Description and Table of Contents

Description

The synapse not only provides a bridge from one nerve cell to the next; its function can be modified by experience, making it important for learning and memory. This overview of the synapse provides a review of current concepts in neurobiology, with specific reference to synaptic plasticity, neurotransmission and neurotrophism. These areas have been advanced dramatically by the application of molecular biology techniques and, The Synapse provides a much needed synthesis of these advances. Kuno incorporates all the latest thinking and current research together with a brief historical overview of research in the field, providing an invaluable text for both the student and the researcher.
