Neuroreceptors, Ion Channels, and the Brain by Nobufumi Kawai PDF Summary

Book Description: Enormous advances have been made in our understanding of the neurotransmitters, receptors and ionic channels of the brain over the past ten years. The use of gene technology has greatly contributed to an improved study of the receptor ion channels and specific neurotoxins affecting the receptors, and by patch clamp recording of channel currents. This volume brings together the latest research and insights of many of the leading workers in these areas. The topics are grouped into three major subjects which overlap significantly. The first chapters provide an overview of the contributions of studies using neurotoxins which act specifically at receptor sites or ion channels. Succeeding chapters are concerned with molecular studies of receptor proteins, including the recent huge strides made by molecular cloning techniques in the isolation of glutamata and IP3 receptors. The final set of chapters describes our current understanding of the function of glutamate receptors. Particular emphasis has been placed on neuronal basis of learning and memory.Neurobiologists and clinicians who wish to increase their knowledge of the neuroreceptors and ion channels of the brain will find this publication a valuable addition to their library.
