Mechanisms of Synaptic Transmission

by Joseph D. Robinson

"Synaptic transmission plays a central role in the nervous system, for it connects through intricate chemical and electrical mechanisms the diverse elements into a functioning whole. This is a broad account of anatomical, biochemical, embryological, medical, pathological, pharmacological, and physiological studies on synaptic transmission during the hundred years beginning in 1890." "The book will be of interest to basic and clinical neuroscientists, pharmacologists, and physiologists, to historians and philosophers of the life sciences and medicine, and to their respective students."--Jacket.
