This book provides an up-to-date review of plant, animal, and synthetic neurotoxins, discussing their physiological, biochemical, and pharmacological aspects with potential therapeutic applications. Specifically, the book includes coverage of the action of neurotoxins on ion channels and neuroreceptors, their use in destroying selective neuronal populations, and the clues this provides as to the underlying causes of neurodegenerative diseases.
