Description and Table of Contents
Description
The squid giant synapse has historically been the best model for investigating synaptic transmission. This book, by one of the leading workers on synaptic transmission, gives a concise overview of all that has been learned about synaptic transmission in its most standard model system. The book also contains a computer model, entitled "Synapse", usable in PC and Macintosh, that allows the reader to simulate and manipulate any aspect of synaptic transmission. The disc contains two programs: the research modelling tool for working neuroscientists; and a drylab to teach students the principles of synaptic transmission by allowing them to alter the parameters, essentially without limits, and see the effects on the ation potential over time in milliseconds. The book is intended for lecturers to use in graduate and undergraduate courses on synaptic transmission and the physiology of neurons and excitable cells.
