Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Neostriatal Function

This book covers a wide range of subjects on the molecular mechanisms which contribute to morphological, chemical, and physiological profiles in the striatum. Chapters have been contributed by the leaders in the field which describe the newest and most exciting aspects of their research endeavors on inter-striatal communication via receptor interactions, neuron-glial interactions, and participation of different signaling systems at the transmitter and second messenger level of involvement. This book is unique, as it gathers this information into one source. It should prove useful for anyone interested in the basal ganglia, and the striatum in particular.
