Within the complex neuronal network of the nervous system, neuron-to-neuron
communication occurs mainly through chemical synapses, where the presynaptic
nerve terminal releases neurotransmitters which control the function of
postsynaptic neurons by acting on postsynaptic receptors. Recent decades have
brought ground-breaking new developments and a wealth of knowledge to this
field. In 'Molecular Mechanisms of Neurotransmitter Release', leading experts
provide concise, up-to-date information on all major molecular mechanisms
involved, with complete background information and figures and diagrams to
further elucidate key concepts or experiments.
Comprehensive and cutting-edge, 'Molecular Mechanisms of Neurotransmitter
Release' is sure to provide a learning tool for neuroscience students, a solid
reference for neuroscientists, and a source
