HANDBOOK OF NEUROCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR NEUROBIOLOGY. NEURAL SIGNALING MECHANISMS. 3TH EDITION. NEURAL SIGNALING MECHANISMS

- Explores synaptic signaling and development from a neurochemistry
perspective.
- e-reference contains crosslinking to other references.
- Useful for basic neuroscientists and molecular biologists.

This volume of the Handbook of Neurochemistry and Molecular Biology focuses on
molecular events involved in synapse formation, synaptic plasticity and ongoing
neural activity. The volume explores axonal growth cones, synapse development,
and mechanisms of LTP and LTD, and calcium dynamics. Particular attention is given
to function and trafficking of membrane proteins including various ion channels,
aquaporines, gap junctions.
