Aspects of Synaptic Transmission: Acetylcholine, Sigma Receptors, CCK & Elcosanoids, Neurotoxins

Synaptic transmission is of interest to neuroscientists working in the pharmacology, physiology and biochemistry of the nervous system. This collection of papers is the second arising from the Kelvin Conference on Synaptic Transmission and provides state-of-the-art reviews. This volume should stimulate readers to realize connections and relationships and to themselves initiate new ideas relating to the development of research into synaptic transmission. The text is intended for academics and professionals with an interest in the physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry of neurotransmission; this book should also appeal to postgraduates and senior undergraduates.
