This comprehensive compilation provides a wealth of information on receptor sequences produced by recombinant DNA techniques used in combination with classical biochemistry. To minimize redundancies in this wealth of information, only a few receptors (some of which are typical for a whole group of similar receptors, others which are presently of special interest) are dealt with in a full-size chapter. Others are represented in the TIPS Receptor Nomenclature Supplement which is included as a special feature in this book, making this volume more useful as a receptor handbook.

This text will highlight the mechanisms and consequences of dendritic transmitter release, with an emphasis on the mechanisms that generate such processing and how these can induce state-dependent plasticity in the processing. This volume will be out of broad significance, expanding the understanding of the spectrum of dendritic mechanisms for neural processing. It will demonstrate that dendritic release that likely occurs throughout the brain is a key feature in the control of information transfer in neural networks, through cross-talk and autorcontrol by paracine/autocrine mechanisms.

New research suggests it is highly probable that DOPA, in addition to being a precursor to dopamine, functions by itself as a neurotramsmitter and/or neuromodulator. Neurobiology of DOPA as a Neurotransmitter integrates background information about DOPA as an inert amino acid precursor of dopamine with the evidence showing that DOPA fulfills several criteria of neurotransmitters. Providing easy access to, and complete understanding of, the latest research on the subject, the book makes the case that DOPA meets many of the criteria of neurotransmitters and includes anti-evidence in some instanc

Extraordinary advances in neurochemistry are both transforming our understanding of human nature and creating an urgent problem. Much is now known about the ways that neurotransmitters influence normal social behavior, mental illness, and deviance. What are these discoveries about the workings of the human brain? How can they best be integrated into our legal system?These explosive issues are best understood by focusing on a single neurotransmitter like serotonin, which is associated with such diverse behaviors as dominance and leadership, seasonal depression, suicide, alcoholism, impulsive ho

General Description of the Series:Neurotransmitter Transporters focuses on biochemical, electrophysiological, pharmacological, molecular, and cell biological approaches used to study neurotransmitter transport systems. The articles provide detailed descriptions of procedures that should enable the reader to understand how they are accomplished and to repeat or adapt them for their own experimental needs. This book is the first to focus on methods that have been the basis for the rapid development of this area.General Description of the Series:The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for mo
