Contents Synapse. Historical perspective of the synapse -- The role of calcium in transmitter release -- How transmitter release is triggered -- Ionotropic receptors mediate fast synaptic responses -- Metabotropic receptors mediate slow synaptic responses
Plasticity. Historical perspective of neuronal plasticity -- Functional plasticity at synapses -- Molecular cascades in learning -- Morphological plasticity at synapses
Neurotrophism. Historical perspective of neurotrophism -- Neurotrophic factors responsible for neuronal survival -- Neurotrophic regulation at developing synapses -- Target-dependence of the neuronal state
Summary The synapse not only provides a bridge from one nerve cell to the next, its function can also be modified by experience making it important for learning and memory. This volume provides a review of current concepts in neurobiology with specific reference to neurotransmission and neurotrophism
