Summary

• "This volume provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of a century of research on synaptic structure and function culminating in the most recent work. Written by leading experts in the field, Synapses will be of interest to a broad range of neuroscientists, including those studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission, learning and memory, neuronal plasticity, neurotransmitters, and synaptic morphology.
• It will also be an essential reference for students and biomedical professionals in all areas of neuroscience."--BOOK JACKET.

Subjects

• Neural transmission
• Synapses
