- Summary
- Begins by providing a comprehensive introduction to the features and properties of synapses. It then describes key techniques used to study neurotransmitter release, from calcium entry to exocytosis. This is followed by chapters covering the identification and function of proteins involved in neurotransmitter release, the role of phospholipids in neurosecretion, and neurotransmitter transporter proteins. Subsequent chapters concentrate on approaches to unravel the function of specific proteins in vivo using toxins that affect neurotransmitter release, giant squit axons, C. elegans, Drosophila, and mice.
