Description and Table of Contents

Description

The structure, function and development of brain systems utilising a major class of neurotransmitters (namely the catecholamines) are comprehensively described for members of all living vertebrate classes. Much of the information presented is new. The editors and high quality contributors provide an excellent overview of the current knowledge on organisation and evolution of the catecholaminergic systems of the brain. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive, comparative overview for any single class of neurotransmitter. The final chapter synthesises and integrates foregoing chapters emphasising that brain catecholamine systems are very ancient and appear to be one of the backbones of the brain. The book will be of interest to researchers and postgraduates of neuroscience, neurobiology, zoology, medicine and physiology.
