Abstract: The synapse not only provides a bridge from one nerve cell to the next, its function can also be modified by experience making it important for learning and memory. This volume provides a review of current concepts in neurobiology with specific reference to neurotransmission and neurotrophism.
Contents: Synapse. Historical perspective of the synapse -- The role of calcium in transmitter release -- How transmitter release is triggered -- Ionotropic receptors mediate fast synaptic responses -- Metabotropic receptors mediate slow synaptic responses.
