Synaptic transmission is the process by which neurons communicate with one another at synapses, which is essential for normal function of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Synaptic dysfunction is linked to a number of conditions affecting the nervous system, including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, impairments in muscle control, and other neurological disorders. Synaptic Transmission is a comprehensive guide to the topic of neurotransmission, providing an in-depth discussion of 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 the 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, training future researchers and clinicians in this critical discipline.
