Synapse, Transmission, Modulation

The main features of this book are: neuronal communication - thoughts on its origin; cellular and molecular basis of neurotransmitter release; "patch-clamp" - studies on calcium regulation and secretion control; synaptic-like activation of excitatory membrane channels (acetylcholine, glutamate); molecular mechanisms of cholinergic synapses in the central nervous system; hormonal orchestration of behaviour: amines and the biasing of behavioural output in lobsters.
