Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 0781702208. Hardcover, from closed pharmaceutical company library. Appears unread, colour fade on spine of jacket. 591 pages, index, illustrated with charts, tables and diagrams. Volume 29: Reviews regulation of exocytotic release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals. Leading international investigators examine the properties and composition of the vesicles that store neurotransmitters and the molecular and cellular mechanisms that cause a vesicle to release transmitters in response to a nerve impulse. Analyses of quantal release of transmitters in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Sheds light on whether different transmitters are released together in fixed amounts and proportions, and why effectors respond to such "transmitter quanta" in a quantal fashion. Highlights the relevance of research on neurotransmitter release to the study of various forms of synaptic plasticity, including higher functions such as learning and memory. Contents clean, tight and bright. Book.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. An evolutionary perspective-from lampreys to humans-on how the forebrain coordinates movement while the networks in the brainstem and spinal cord handle the execution.An evolutionary perspective-from lampreys to humans-on how the forebrain coordinates movement while the networks in the brainstem and spinal cord handle the execution.All living creatures interact with their environment: even the most basic have a set of innate motor circuits they rely on to feed, locomote, fight, and flee. In The Brain in Motion, Sten Grillner describes the evolution of the motor repertoire of vertebrates, from protovertebrates to primates. With breadth and depth, Grillner explores how the brain uses the different microcircuits in the brainstem and spinal cord, coordinating them through commands from the forebrain. He also considers the normal function of the brain as a platform for understanding clinical conditions such as stroke, Parkinson s and Huntington s diseases, and spinal cord injury.Grillner also explains in The Brain in Motion how the remarkable finding that the lamprey forebrain has all the components of the mammalian one has radically changed scientists' views on the evolutionary origin of the vertebrate forebrain. We now know that the basic organization evolved 560 rather than 300 million years ago, as was previously thought. The forebrain, says Grillner, is like an orchestra conductor, while the microcircuits, with their reaching, grasping, posture, locomotion, and numerous other patterns of behavior, correspond to the members of the orchestra. The conductor determines when each will be called into action.Providing an elegantly integrated perspective, The Brain in Motion is essential reading for anybody that works professionally with movement control and function and dysfunction, whether in basic research, clinically, or in the training of motor skills. "A complete and authoritative of the neural control of movement in animals ranging from lampreys to humans, including the roles of the cortex and basal ganglia, and will also cover motor disorders"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Very Good+ hardcover. Glossy illustrated boards. Light rubbing and minor shelf wear to extremities, with a small bump/wear mark at the upper spine edge. Binding tight and square. Interior clean and unmarked. No ownership marks, highlighting, or underlining noted. A handsome, well-preserved copy. A substantial reference work bringing together leading neuroscientists to examine the organization and function of brain microcircuits. Edited by Gordon M. Shepherd of Yale University and Sten Grillner of the Karolinska Institute, the volume explores neural networks across sensory, motor, and cognitive systems, emphasizing the cellular and synaptic architecture underlying brain function. Contributions from internationally recognized researchers provide a broad overview of contemporary neuroscience and computational approaches to neural circuitry.
