Description
This book contains the reports from an ICSU symposium on advances in gene technology, and is divided into fifteen sections covering diverse areas of molecular neurobiology and pharmacology. Several high-profile topics were presented at the symposium, including recent advances in the understanding of memory function, sensory perception, neurological diseases, and the controversial topic of neural transplantation. The research has wide implications in the general study of how cells communicate with each other. Immunologists; research workers and postgraduates in medicine and immunology
