Basic Neurochemistry: Molecular, Cellular and Medical Aspects - Tapa dura

Virtually all the chapters have been rewritten for this edition, many by new, internationally recognized contributors. This text is a reference and textbook on basic neurochemistry. Highlights include: all-new accounts of olfaction and taste, glutamate and aspartate, GABA, glycine, purinergic transmitter systems, neuropeptides, G-proteins and cyclic nucleotides in the nervous system, molecular targets of abused drugs, neurotransmitter uptake systems, neurotoxicity, and fluid and solute regulation; revised and strategically expanded coverage of histamine and serotonin; significantly expanded coverage of neurotransmitters, receptor families, and second messenger systems; timely updates on molecular genetic approaches to inherited neurological degenerative disorders and mitochondrial diseases; extensive references to the current literature including citations of 1993 publications.
