Basic Neurochemistry

Mehr zum Buch

A text that comprehensively encompasses research which elucidates brain function and dysfunction at the level of molecular and cellular biochemistry. The volume is divided into six parts: neural membranes, synaptic function, molecular neurobiology, cellular neurochemistry, medical neurochemistry, and behavioral neurochemistry. This revised and updated edition adds new chapters on the molecular basis for olfaction and taste, neurotransmitter and growth-factor receptor families and second messenger signaling systems, amino acid and purinergic neurotransmission, neurotransmitter uptake systems, and molecular targets of drugs of abuse.
