Brain Cholinergic Systems. This item is unavailable.Brain Cholinergic Systems

In this book, brain cholinergic systems are examined by leading authorities drawn from the fields of morphology, immunochemistry, electrophysiology, behaviour, and the study of cognitive disorders. The book covers major aspects of the organization and connectivity of cholinergic systems at the light and electron-microscopic levels, intrinsic electrophysiological properties, and ionic conductances of central cholinergic neurons. It also discusses the effects of brainstem and basal forebrain cholinergic systems upon thalamic and cortical neurons, plasticity processes in the thalamins and cerebral cortex; and studies on Alzheimer's disease.

In this book, 16 leading authorities examine brain cholinergic systems from their standpoints in the fields of morphology, immunohistochemistry, electrophysiology, behaviour and cognitive disorders. The book covers major aspects of the organization and connectivity of cholinergic systems at the light - and electron-microscopic - levels, intrinsic electrophysiological properties and ionic conductances of central cholinergic and cholinoceptive neurons, the effects of brainstem and basal forebrain cholinergic systems upon thalamic and cortical neurons, plasticity processes in the thalamins and cerebal cortex and studies on Alzheimer's disease. As such, this volume may be of interest to morphologists, physiologists, psychologists and clinicians.
