Description
This reference provides a clear understanding of the basic mechanisms of synaptic transmission and information processing and illustrates potential clinical applications for the recovery of lost function as a result of gene defects, injury, or disease-relating the most recent advances in the design of new therapeutics, the treatment of neurological disease and age-related loss of cognitive function, rehabilitation therapy, and neural engineering and computation.
