Squid Giant Synapse: A Model for Chemical Transmission ANNOTATION
The book contains predominantly black-and-white illustrations, with some color illustrations.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The squid giant synapse is the single most important model for investigating the transmitter release mechanism in chemical junctions. This unique book, by a leading expert in the field, gives a concise overview of all that has been learned about synaptic transmission in this superb model system. It covers in detail the biophysics of the voltage-dependent calcium currents, calcium concentration microdomains, and much of the molecular basis for the triggering of the secretory event. Ideal for graduate and undergraduate courses, the book includes PC and Macintosh versions of two programs for simulating and manipulating any aspect of synaptic transmission.
FROM THE CRITICS
Tomoyuki Takahashi - Nature
Squid giant Synapsewill attract a wide audience, particularly those interested in listening to nature directly rather than passively accepting current paradigms. It will also attract young students, as well as researchers, who are interested on computer simulations of neuronal function.
