Synaptic Transmission

Autorzy: Stephen D. Meriney, Erika Fanselow Wydawnictwo: Elsevier Science Data wydania: 2019 Język publikacji: Angielski Liczba stron: 528 Formaty publikacji: EAN: 9780128153215 ISBN: 9780128153215 Kategoria: Neurosciences Indeks wydawcy: 9780128153215 Nota bibliograficzna: Dr. Fanselow completed her Ph.D. in neurobiology with Dr. Miguel Nicolelis at Duke University, where she studied the function of the thalamocortical loop in the rodent somatosensory system. Additionally, she pioneered methods for using trigeminal nerve stimulation as a treatment for epilepsy. She then did a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Barry Connors at Brown University, where her research focused on neurophysiological aspects of synaptic connectivity and the roles inhibitory neurons play neuronal networks. Her findings apply both to understanding the basic function of neocortical circuitry and to the pathology of epilepsy. Dr. Fanselow was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh, where her lab focused on the physiological roles of inhibitory synapses in neocortical circuitry. During this time, she also had the opportunity to teach neurophysiology to graduate and medical students. Dr. Fanselow has worked as an independent consultant on neuroelectrophysiological recording techniques, and is currently a full-time instructor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh. She teaches multiple undergraduate courses to neuroscience majors, including Synaptic Transmission, Functional Neuroanatomy, Drugs and Behavior, Introduction to Neuroscience, and several advanced neuroscience electives focusing on the anatomical and neurobiological bases for neurological disorders.

Opis

Synaptic Transmission is a comprehensive guide to the topic of neurotransmission that provides an in-depth discussion on many aspects of synapse structure and function—a fundamental part of the neuroscience discipline. Chapters include boxes that describe renowned/award-winning researchers and their contributions to the field of synaptic transmission, diseases relevant to the material presented, details of experimental approaches used to study synaptic transmission, and interesting asides that expand on topics covered. This book will inspire students to appreciate how the basic cellular and molecular biology of the synapse can lead to a better understanding of nervous system function and neurological disorders.

  • Provides a comprehensive reference on synaptic structure, physiology, function and neurotransmission
  • Discusses many landmark experiments in the field of synaptic transmission to emphasize core principles
  • Includes references to primary scientific literature, relevant review articles and books, many of which could be assigned as discussion material for courses focused on this topic
